The 1920s were a really exciting time. Google the people I"ve listed and you'll probably come up with a lot more.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (author of The Great Gatsby)
Bessie Smith, SInger
Warren Harding was one of the Presidents.
Alice Stokes Paul and other suffragettes- women got the vote in 1921, so there are a number of suffragettes whose names were well-known then. Unfortunately Elizabeth Cady Stanton died
William Jennings Bryan- politician
Henry Ford (of the automobiles)
William Randolph Hearst (Millionaire Newspaper tycoon)
Herbert Hoover- President
Eleanor Roosevelt (Wife of President)
