Flappers

Fatal women of the roaring 1920s.

Flappers (engl. flappers) — the nickname for emancipated young women of the 1920s. Capricious aristocrats, dazzling film actresses, inventive artists, celebrated dancers, reckless writers and muses, who did not stop at 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 a woman's role 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.

“These women cut their hair short, listened to jazz, shortened their skirts, behaved boldly in public, and challenged sexual norms.” The Dallas Morning News
“A remarkable series of stories about women with sharp angles.” The Guardian
