Description
In the 1920s, a new woman was born. She smoked, drank, danced and voted. They broke away from the Victorian image of womanhood.
Flappers had both an image and an attitude. The image consisted of drastic - to some, shocking - changes in women's clothing and hair. Nearly every article of clothing was trimmed down and lightened in order to make movement easier. The attitude was characterised by stark truthfulness, fast living and sexual behaviour. They took risks and were reckless. They created what many consider the "new" or "modern" woman.
