the flapper became a symbol of freedom and rebelliousness.
Flappers were a group of young women in the 1920s who rejected what was considered acceptable behaviour. Instead, they were seen wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms. They became a symbol of freedom and rebelliousness during the roaring '20s, as they tried to challenge the dominant view of women.
