Images of Women in Post World War I Europe

     During World War I, women were given new freedoms that they had never experienced before.  Women were allowed in the workplace with jobs that were once considered just for men. Wives were also considered the head of the household while their husbands were away fighting in the war.  After the war was over, countries such as Germany and the United States allowed women to vote.  All of these events altered the image of women from past ideals.  One place in which this is new image is shown is in post World War I films such as The Blue Angel and Pandora's Box. These images are also shown in the book Civilization without Sexes: Reconstructing Gender in Postwar France 1917-1927 by Mary Louise Roberts.

students, Unrath leaves the nightclub.  He returns to the night club the next night and again returns to Lola's dressing room.   This time he seems to be aroused her flirtations and sits down next to her.  While they are talking, the owner of the theatre troupe that Lola is a part of brings a sea captain to her.  The captain wishes to sleep with Lola and have her perform for him.
The professor strongly objects to this and forcefully removes the captain from the dressing room.  Lola immediately is aroused by this and begins to treat the professor with more respect.  Later that ...
