2. The history of Flapper:
Flappers of the 1920s were young women known
for their energetic freedom, embracing a lifestyle
viewed by many at the time as outrageous,
immoral or downright dangerous.
Now considered the first generation of
independent American women, flappers pushed
barriers in economic, political and sexual freedom
for women.
3. No one knows how the word flapper entered American slang, but its usage
first appeared just following World War I.
The classic image of a flapper is that of a stylish young party girl. Flappers
smoked in public, drank alcohol, danced at jazz clubs and practiced a
sexual freedom that shocked the Victorian morality of their parents.
What Is a Flapper?
Flapper Dress
Flappers were famous—or infamous, depending on your viewpoint—for their rakish attire.
They donned fashionable flapper dresses of shorter, calf-revealing lengths and lower necklines,
though not typically form fitting: Straight and slim was the preferred silhouette.
Flappers wore high heel shoes and threw away their corsets in favor of bras and lingerie. They
gleefully applied rouge, lipstick, mascara and other cosmetics, and favored shorter hairstyles like the
bob.
