Thanks for comi...(sorry--typo in the first attempt)<br />Thanks for coming by, Rebekah. Indeed, it was a time of enormous social change, with technology making fast advances, populations more on the move, the rise of women's rights (esp. to vote), and tremendous literary output. But also some pretty negative stuff was happening concurrently--a general drift from faith due to the long, pointless Great War, violent fights to improve workers' rights (labor movement), organized crime syndicates ruling cities and the flow of illegal alcohol. Plenty of potent story-making elements!Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-88022756711008606492017-07-14T11:22:50.619-04:002017-07-14T11:22:50.619-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-67867055655727926912017-07-14T11:15:12.308-04:002017-07-14T11:15:12.308-04:00Thanks so much.

Ellie had all the outward signs of being a Flapper, the clothing style, the hair, but she never identified herself that way nor did it bother her if people assumed she was a Flapper. She felt free to be herself.Onisha Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242741267749390554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-9227532247582011052017-07-13T11:35:11.369-04:002017-07-13T11:35:11.369-04:00Thanks, Onisha, for the compliment and for coming ...Thanks, Onisha, for the compliment and for coming by to learn more about DiVoran's story.
