1926 Live @100YearsAgoLive - The way 1920s women dress has been a national controversy for a couple years:

Quote:

1926 Live @100YearsAgoLive

The Inquiring Reporter asks Chicagoans: “Is the public display of bare knees by women objectionable?”

Nurse Madelyn Kelly: “Object? Absolutely not. The combination of short skirts and rolled stockings is solid comfort.”

Traveling adjuster Jack Osherman: “It is objectionable […] I have noticed in street cars and other places women sitting with their legs crossed, offering a view of a great deal more feminine pulcheritude than necessary.”

Singer Beulah West: “For girls […] the freer dress of today is wonderful. It should not be considered objectionable. If everybody were less ready to notice and criticize every little thing, we would all be healthier p

Inspector I.H. Silver: “I don’t object […] if they are fine examples of statuary.”

Housewife P.S. Moore: “There are serious objections to that […] if women become immodest, the nation suffers for it.”
