During the 1920s there were quite a lot of changes in home life. To be specific, American industrialization and urbanization are most fundamental reasons that made people’s everyday life more comfortable and it is also beginning of modern period of New York City. For woman who spent all day to do house chores such as wash dishes, clean the house or iron cloth, modern society gave them an opportunity to have their own time. Although not all people could afford to buy product, for instance vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators and so forth, at least running water, gas or electronic stove freed even working class housewives from all day house working (Chudacoff pg.186). These conveniences also led many women to outside so that they could join woman club, social life or other leisure activities.
