What is Kipindi kati ya Vita vya Dunia vya Kwanza na Vita vya Dunia vya Pili?
Kipindi cha kati ya Vita vya Dunia kinahusu miaka kati ya Vita vya Dunia vya Kwanza na Vita vya Dunia vya Pili (takriban 1918–1939), wakati wa machafuko ya kijamii, uhuru mpya, na majeraha ya kudumu yaliyoathiri maisha ya kila siku na mapenzi. Katika fasihi, ni mazingira tajiri ya hadithi za kujijenga upya, mvuto, na uchungu wa kimya.
Kipindi cha kati ya Vita vya Dunia kinashughulikia miongo iliyofuata Vita vya Kwanza vya Dunia na kabla ya Vita vya Pili vya Dunia, wakati jamii ilijijenga upya kutokana na mabadiliko ya haraka ya kitamaduni na kiteknolojia. Miji ilikua, jaz na sinema zilienea, Art Deco na mitindo ya kisasa vilianza kuonekana, na wanawake walipata uhuru mpya—kupiga kura, kufanya kazi nje ya nyumbani, na kujaribu mitindo kama muonekano wa flapper. Wakati huo huo, watu wengi walikuwa na majeraha ya kihisia na ya kiuchumi ya vita, yakileta mseto wa matumaini na wasi wasi. Kwa waandishi wa hadithi, enzi hii inatoa kanuni za kijamii zilizotofautiana, mvutano wa tabaka, majukumu ya kijinsia yanayobadilika, na maelezo ya hisia yenye nguvu (magari ya zamani, redio, viwanja vya densi, na kahawa zenye moshi) yanayobadilisha jinsi wahusika wanakutana, wanapendana, na kukabili vizingiti.
