The Rise of Automobiles in the 1920s
During the 1920s, automobiles became more affordable and popular. Henry Ford's assembly line reduced production costs, making cars more accessible. The number of cars on the road increased to about 26 million, providing more freedom and opportunities for women. Cars allowed for more leisure activities, with trips to amusement parks, beaches, and swimming becoming popular pastimes.
