A flapper was the slang name for a young woman who liked to dance, often had short hair, wore casual clothing, and went against many of the traditions and customs that had been common until the so-called "Roaring 20s." Some young women regarded the word "flapper" as insulting, but others embraced it as a sign that they were independent and doing things in their own way, rather than conforming to the culture's expectations.
