"Flappers" in the 1920s were young women who disregarded conventional rules of conduct and dress. Sometimes referred to as rebels, flappers changed the status and role of all women because of their drastic modification in their actions and clothing, their self-governing attitudes, their demand for the same equality as men, and their pristine style. Flappers embodied the modern spirit of the Jazz Age and paved the way for women today to live as they please.
