Due to Prohibition there was much more immorality involving women. Women started to drink beer and hard liquor. Before prohibition many women might have had a small glass of wine at home. Also, because of the environment in speakeasies men and women tended to be in closer contact. There was a great increase of unmarried sexual activity in the 1920s. This can be connected to the presence of alcohol and the environment at speakeasies. Prostitution was also booming during Prohibition, although many professionals were angry that other women were ruining the market by giving their service away. Overall, the great move towards morality promised by religious leaders was nowhere in sight.
