Author F. Scott Fitzgerald described flappers as “Lovely, expensive and about 19.”
“In the 1920’s, a new woman was born. SHe smoked, drank, danced and voted. SHe cut her hair, wore make-up, and went to petting parties. She was gibby and took risks. She was a flapper”
Not all women in the 1920s were flappers
Most were traditional-stay at home, do the housework
Flappers mostly were Northern, urban, single, young, middle-class
