Women took jobs and dominance in the family during WWI. When soldiers returned from the war, they were looking for a good time, not the "old structure" of society. Women responded, joining men in speakeasies, increasing sexuality (shorter skirts, higher divorce rates, drinking, smoking, etc). Also you might want to add something about feminism.
