2. Flappers was a trend during 1920s where women was seen as
a ‘new breed’ who wore fashionable clothing to suite their
conventional social and sexual norm.
This happened after the time where many men died during
world war two therefore there was an increase on single
women.

3. Movement of women rights
Flappers in the 1920s had a huge impact to the time where women
had the right to be involved with politics. They were supporters of
women rights to be able to vote and have some equality amongst men
and women. They were also able to work and have jobs that were
provided to sell flapper fashion to other women who admire their
trend. Their was a drastic movement to how society would view
women during this period therefore flappers had to have a rebellious
trend to have the rights amongst society.

Although there has been a evolution
of how women behave and act. The
media negatively stereotype flappers
as triumph and dangerous due to their
recklessness . Flappers defended
themselves by contrasting themselves
with earlier generations of women,

vines." They scoffed at the confining
fashions and demure passivity of older
women and revealed in their own
freedom.
