Flappers were controversial in 1920s society because they challenged traditional gender roles and norms, embodying a new sense of female independence and liberation. Their fashion choices, such as shorter dresses and bobbed hair, along with behaviors like smoking and drinking in public, shocked conservative segments of society. Flappers represented a break from the past, embracing a more modern lifestyle that many viewed as morally questionable or rebellious. This clash between the old and new values contributed to the broader cultural tensions of the decade.

Flappers wore short skirts and did not care for acceptable behavior as deemed by society. Flappers sported a bob hair style and listen much to jazz music.
No, flappers were in the 1920's and early 1930's .
Yes during the 1920's flappers wore the popular hairdos of the time. Because of the fact that it was a women's revolution in a sort of way they wanted to express themselves by having shorter hair.
Flappers rejected old ways in favor of new, exciting freedom.
The 'Flapper' came about in the 1920's because women were just wanting to be a little daring. They had finally won the right to vote and they were 'thumbing' their noses at society in general. It was a way to show independence.
