During the 1920's the flappers represented a change in the
American woman in society. They started showing skin with shorter
skirts. They started wearing shorter hair and makeup. The skinny
boyish figure was stylish at this time and, in some cases, so was
unisex fashion. They drank, smoked, cursed, danced, participated in
petting parties, and engaged in other activities seen as scandalous
by the society of the day.
