5. How is it being said? In document 2 when Churchill delivers his " Iron Curtain" speech he says " I do not believe that Soviet Russia desires a war. What they desire is the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines ... Our difficulties and dangers will not be removed by ... mere waiting to see what happens; nor will they be relieved by a policy of appeasement. I am convinced that there is nothing ( The Russians) admire so much as strength , and there is nothing for which they have less respect that for military weakness.

Was There a Sexual Revolution in the 1920s?

1.Do you think that everything that was going on during this "sexual revolution" was really about women and sex or are they just talking about how women learning how to express themselves freely?
I think that it wasn't really a "sexual revolution" but women just feeling more empowered and feeling that they could express themselves in more ways.

2. With more women attending college than ever to this has contributed to the "sexual revelation"?
I definitely think it has. Women are learning more and wanting more, wanting things to be more equal as they can now do an equal job to men.

3. Did WW1 have any role in this?
definitely! When the war started not that many women we working and during the war a lot of women had to go to work and were want to prove to men and the country that they should be equal to men as well
