USA HISTORY

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: -Instead of reverting to the modesty of the Victorian era, women ditched their corsets and cut their hair short and so the flapper was born. Rebellious and determined, flappers flirted, danced, smoked, and frequented speakeasies.

Detailed explanation-3: -The flapper attitude was characterized by stark truthfulness, fast living, and sexual behavior. Flappers seemed to cling to youth as if it were to leave them at any moment. They took risks and were reckless. They wanted to be different, to announce their departure from the Gibson Girl’s morals.
