Flappers

Femme fatales of the roaring 1920s.

Flappers (from English flappers) — a nickname for emancipated young women of the 1920s. Impulsive aristocrats, dazzling movie actresses, inventive artists, renowned dancers, reckless writers and muses, who did not shy away from any prohibitions — who are they, the fatal beauties who defined and outpaced their time? Their lives resembled short flashes, but their brightness was enough to change the perception of the role of women in the world. This brilliant biographical book shows that without the courage of spirit, there is no art. And although fame is fleeting and has a dark side, the world remembers its magnificent rebels in skirts.
