    The perception of women has changed over the last century, due to changes in the economy, lifestyles and the household. I will explore how women changed between 1930 and 1960 and the effect that Vogue had on women's lives. Vogue has not only contributed to the acceptance of trends in the fashion and beauty industry, but has also become an award in the fashion and beauty industry. changed in women's cultural thinking, actions, and clothing. Vogue is the world's most influential fashion magazine, founded by Kelly Trepkowski, who wrote about art, culture and politics.

After the euphoria of the twenties, the 1930s were a less dynamic decade for women, marked by the depression, which encouraged all women to return home while men returned to jobs which were becoming rarer. All their roles and responsibilities have been taken away from them; the economy could not cope with the increasing number of men returning to work.
