Gay Nineties
The Gay Nineties is an American nostalgic term and a periodization of the history of the United States, referring to the decade of the 1890s. Despite the term, part of the decade was marked by a financial crisis, which worsened greatly when the Panic of 1893 set off a widespread economic depression in the United States that lasted until 1897. In the United Kingdom the period is known as the Naughty Nineties, and refers to the decade of supposedly decadent art of Aubrey Beardsley, the witty plays and trial of Oscar Wilde, society scandals, and the beginning of the suffragette movement.
