About Booze, Babe, & The Little Black Dress:
The Roaring 20s was so much more than The Great Gatsby. In this book, we’ll dance the night away at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, sign up for the first subscription media service, get caught up in the Trial of the Century, pack our bags for the first all-American road trip, have a little fun in the sun, leave a review for that roadside motel, afford it all with five easy payments, learn how babies are made (and not) in the back seat of our car, get the resulting kink in our back worked out, shop for a new crib in the first big box store, watch our children learn to be savvier consumers than their parents, and pick up a new type of magazine to help us make sense of it all. And, of course, we’ll learn about the gangsters of Prohibition (“Booze”), how sports became more product than athletics (“Babe” as in Babe Ruth), and the democratization of fashion by the indomitable Coco Chanel (the “Little Black Dress”).
