Flappers of the 1920s and their mark on modern women

When you think of the term flapper, you may have a mental image of a women wearing pearls, a dress with frills, red lipstick, and a feature coming out of her short hair, and this image was the beginning of revolution from the Victorian lifestyles. With the war leaving a generation of women without suitors, these flapper women drank, smoked, danced, and started what we now consider dating. These women of the 1920's cut off their hair as a way of personal freedom, and enjoyed life in the age of prohibition of alcohol, and was later known as the roaring 20's.

These women shocked their parents with behaviors of choosing eligible men, cocktail parties, dancing, kissing, and having a good time leaving the thought of spinsterhood by the waste side.

Many things we do now are thanks to these women tossing aside their corsets, and applying make up, so next time you put on a little mascara or find that perfect shade of red, think of the women of the prohibition era that started the modern age of dating, partying, choice in spouse selection, and fashion.
