Title: Daily life in the United States, 1920-1940
First published: 2004
Description: "The 1920s and 1930s witnessed dramatic changes in American life: growing urbanization, technological innovation, cultural upheaval, and economic disaster. In this book, prize-winning historian David E. Kyvig describes everyday life in these decades, when automobiles and home electricity became commonplace, when radio and the movies became broadly popular. Major national developments from the adoption of woman suffrage and the coming of national prohibition, to the economic collapse of the early 1930s and the subsequent rise of the New Deal are considered in terms of their effects on the daily lives of Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
