'Flappers' is an obsolete term now, but in the 1920s it designated the young women with masculine haircuts who were the protagonists of the first feminine revolution.

'Flappers' is an obsolete term now, but in the 1920s it designated the young women with masculine haircuts who were the protagonists of the first feminine revolution. Daughters of an America that was in the midst of economic and social development, these young women led the revolution of mores in that Age of Jazz and Prohibition that gave rise to the modern 'American myth.' Thirsty for freedom, emancipation, and hedonism, the girls burst into society, challenging the relations between the sexes and declaring an all-out war on a male world entrenched in the past and its privileges. The protagonists of these stories - good society girls and chorus girls, denizens of the provinces or the big cities - sketch a new vision of life and set themselves in opposition to the male world, composed mostly of boring 'philosophers' who are the bearers of an outdated 'philosophy'. True and courageous champions of the new times, though sometimes confused, they express the search for a new lightness of life and the recognition of the ephemeral as a value.
