Topic Essay

I am doing my NHD project on women during the 1920’s. My group was thinking of doing a performance. After World War I women started to gain their independent. When the men went off to war the women started to run the household. They started to get jobs and started to even have a voice in the government. With these changes their fashion started to change. They started to cut their hair to boy cuts and were wearing knee length skirts. With these changes a lot o problems arouse. Women started to go to jail if their skirt wasn’t the appropriate length. If their skirt didn’t cover their ankles then that was against the law. But our main focus is the fashion. This was a very important event in Fashion history. This showed that women had a more important role in the world.

With our performance we were going to put together a script. We were going to have a scene with the housewife, editor, beach, and we were going to think about another topic dealing with the fashion. We were going to explain how each of these groups of people was affected. We were going to also show the fashion and how much it changes in this decade. We were getting our sources from theatres and some are helping us write our scripts.

In conclusion, my history day project is Fashion in the 1920’s. We are doing a performance. We have a lot of resources and a project is going to win out of the performance group.
