FLAPPERS? Flappers: a weird name given to trendy young women in the 1920's. When people think flapper, they think short bobbed hair, stockings, knee-length dresses, heavy make-up, a garter, and long beaded necklaces (The Flapper.., 2). Most are found with a cigarette in hand. They're typically linked with rebellious attitudes, sailor mouths, jazz music, and free partying. This sudden "type" of woman began when people started to inherit or live with the traits ands looks of movie characters and sports stars (The Flappers.., 1).

WOMEN WHO WORKED IN THE 1920's In the 1920's, women would be considered "new woman." Changes were being made in government, politics, schools, many even their home life (Benner, 1). A lot of people looked at woman as less than men. They had just been given the right to vote. Also, people thought married woman shouldn't work (Benner, 2). They were kind of limited to being "mill girls" and doing housework (Women's Rights, 6). But in this decade, women started to rise. More of them began to perform work in offices as a receptionist or bookkeeper. Others found work in department or fashion stores (Women's Rights, 25).

MARRIAGE or DATING? Beginning in 1920, things started to get more and more informal. Yes, marriage was a big deal. But with the "flapper vibe" going around, having fun was a big thing. For the first time, chaperones were not attending dates. There was much more privacy between two people which of course resulted in much more intimacy, that was pretty much petting, or feeling up, one another. (Dating, Mating, and..., p2) The focus in relationships was more success and popularity rather than emotions. Guys treated girls to a good time that required spending money. No commitment required. (Dating, p6).
