The Roaring 20s

Clashes and Liberation in 1920s Culture

This episode unpacks the Scopes Trial's battle between science and faith, the flapper phenomenon as a symbol of women's liberation, and the contrasting narratives of Mein Kampf and The Great Gatsby. Through these 1920s events, we explore the cultural and ideological shifts that still echo today. Insightful connections are drawn to modern debates in education, gender, and literature.
