World War I was known as "The Roaring Twenties," and it was a time of wealth and prosperity. In less than a decade, the nation's
total wealth nearly doubled, manufacturing increased by 60 percent, and for the
first time, most people lived in urban areas in homes lit by electricity. Washing machines,
refrigerators and vacuum cleaners became common household objects.
Communications, travel, and entertainment increased as over 12 million

that featured a new, fast-paced world of luxury and glamour. Meanwhile, at
the polls, in the workplace, and on the dance floor, women began to assert a
greater independence.
