Detailed explanation-1: -A study of the “flappers” of the 1920’s would indicate that: Some women rejected traditional female roles. The harlem renaissance of the 1920’s can best be described as: A period of great achievement by African-American writers, artists, and performers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Today the easily recognized image of the flapper symbolizes the 1920s for many people.
