Flappers

Flappers was a certain style and attitude that women had in the 1920's that made them seem rebellious. Flappers were women who cut there hair, wore make-up, voted, and went out to have a good time. Flappers also wore shorter clothing and it shocked many people in the 1920's because it seemed very outrageous to the way things use to be. Women back then use to wear clothing that constricted them from dancing so they got rid of it and started wearing less for comfort and for more room to dance.


Flappers was first coined in Great Britain Right after the first world war to describe young women. Once the term got to the U.S the term was used to describe a giddy, attractive and slightly out of the ordinary young girl who was also somewhat foolish. Flappers was the image of young females of the 1920's and it has shaped the way girls think and dress like in today's culture.
