"The Roaring Twenties" Game
From the game, my impression of the twenties was that etiquette was one of the most important things to people. What you said, how you dressed, your behavior in certain occasions - they all counted. People paid close attention to you, so that you were always watching yourself. Appearances seemed to me to be of the utmost importance. In the twenties, women still had to fight for gender equality and so, it was really hard for them to go to college and pursue superior studies - they had to prove to everyone that they had what it took to get a degree. What I also noticed was that appearances didn't only count for the public opinion - it also determined whether a woman would have a good marriage. Marrying well seemed like one of the main focuses of women back in the twenties. The twenties, in my opinion, were when people started giving importance to frivolities.
