The 1920 Flappers

My bog is over the 1920's Flappers, who were the ladies that wore short skirts, more makeup, and I guess you could say they were scandalous compare to the norm of the ladies of the 1920's. These "Flappers" were very casual with sex and also were looked down upon for listening to Jazz music, smoking and drinking. I chose this topic simply because it's interesting how the change of clothing and roles of the women all started to change at this time.
