Back in October, my friend Sarah launched a series on the “New Woman” of the 1920s. Today she posted another one on how the “New” woman handled make-up…and how she helped to normalize it within society via the magic of sex appeal! πŸ˜‰ It’s a great post. You can check it out here.

My name's Megan, and I'm a writer and library employee with an interest in history and research. This blog is an outgrowing of historical research for one of my unpublished novels, and it has since grown over the years into what I hope is a decent resource hub for others interested in Chicago during the 1920s. If you're looking for research help or just want to say hi, feel free to drop me a line! :)
