A flapper would be more anachronistic in today's society since they were women who partied in the 1920s. A gold digger is a woman who married into money, a-la Anna Nicole Smith, or someone who dates rich men.

The two could be the same, but flappers were more the partying type.

Flappers could be a gold digger, but a gold digger might not be a flapper. Flapper was a style - after WW1 women who were flappers were regarded as "a new breed of women" bold, adventurous, flirty. They wore short skirts (which scandalised proper society), smoked, drank, danced, listened to jazz, thumbed their noses at what was expected of them. In short they were free spirited, and pushed the boundaries of what society expected of women. Traditionally, women's roles were very strictly defined as being a wife and mother, nothing more. Flappers said no to this and lived life as they saw fit.

So no, being a Flapper did not mean you were a gold digger. While some may have been, the great majority of flappers just wanted to have fun.
