The Roaring Twenties was a transformative era marked by jazz music, vibrant theater, and significant social change. Popular music flourished with the rise of jazz on radio and phonographs, while Broadway dazzled with musicals such as "No, No, Nanette" and "Show Boat". The decade also saw a cultural awakening, with women's rights movements gaining momentum, leading to increased independence. Major political shifts alongside scientific advancements, such as the discovery of insulin and penicillin, defined this dynamic period in American history.
