During the 1930'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. They used to wear shoes that had a leather (or other form of material) strap that buckled on the other side. As part of their rebellious attitude, they didn't buckle the strap and their straps flapped around everywhere, hence the name flappers. They skinny boyish figure was stylish at this time as well as unisex fashion. They drank, smoked cursed, danced, participating in petting parties, etc.
