The Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age
The Jazz Age was the beginning of women gaining more independence. After World War One and women having to handle jobs that were commonly male occupations, women began to have more independence. This can be seen in the new "flapper" style of dress, as well as a stronger and more independent mindset. The clearest example of this is Jordan Baker and her strong, individualistic mindset.
This was the time of the roaring twenties, a time with booming economic success and an extravagant way of living. This is clearly seen with Jay Gatsby and his lavish lifestyle. He throws expensive parties often, partially to impress Daisy, but also to impress the public. He feels a need to be liked, and he flaunts his wealth to feel liked.
This was also a time soon after the end of the first world war, and the roaring twenties was America's way of "letting loose" after the war. America is having incredible economic success and the stock market is on the rise. This is the time for the wealthy people to have expensive parties and flaunt their wealth.
