flapper era
Roaring Twenties period
The flapper era is the 1920s, particularly in America and Western Europe, when young women called flappers rejected Victorian social norms—wearing shorter skirts, bobbing their hair, drinking, smoking, and embracing jazz culture.
The term evokes speakeasies, Charleston dancing, and pre-Depression exuberance: Her grandmother loved talking about the flapper era.
