Detailed explanation-1: -Flappers were young, fast-moving, fast-talking, reckless and unfazed by previous social conventions or taboos. They smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, rode in and drove cars and kissed and “petted” with different men. Women move to cities and into the workforce, but stayed in traditional ‘women’s roles.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -A symbol of the 1920s, flappers embody the youth and rebellion commonly associated with the prohibition era. Many women had joined the work force during World War I; they could work, drive, and with the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920, they could vote.
Detailed explanation-4: -Flapper feminism rejected the idea that women should uphold society’s morals through temperance and chastity. The rebellious youth that these girls represented hailed materialism and the flappers were the ultimate consumers.
Detailed explanation-5: -/ (ˈflæpə) / noun. a person or thing that flaps. (in the 1920s) a young woman, esp one flaunting her unconventional dress and behaviour.
