PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The flappers were not ordinary girls in the 1920's. They were risky. They had attitude and the put risk in their outfits,hairstyles and their makeup.
Girls known as 'flappers' dressed in ways meant to entice the men. They wore shorter dresses/skirts, bobbed hair styles and more noticeable make-up.
Not only was their style different their attitudes also pushed limits. Flapper girls smoked, drank, danced, and some even voted.
“ They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don't know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn to them. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the pre-World War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about."
