The quintessential modern, emancipated Western woman of The Roaring '20s. A young lady even more spirited than the Spirited Young Lady, coming of age in an era when Victorian morals were loosened at the same time that tightlaced corsets were, thanks to newfound liberty, rising feminist movements, and (in the U.S.) the 19th Amendment.note Which forbids states from forbidding women from voting. Yes, that's confusing, but that's American Federalism for you. She listened to jazz, smoked cigarettes, danced the Foxtrot, the Tango, the Shimmy, the Peabody, the Black Bottom, the Baltimore Buzz, and the Charleston, wore make-up for the first time since the 18th century, drank with the boys (in America, she was as much an opponent of the 18th Amendmentnote Which prohibited alcohol as she was a fan of the 19th), peppered her speech with slang and cusses, and enjoyed the various other delights that the '20s had to offer. Aesthetically, short hair, short skirts, short, loose & low-waisted evening gowns, turned-up silk stockings, boyish figures, and swanky cloche hats were a must. The flapper's social and sexual liberty was a result of such feminist developments as women entering the workforce and gaining the right to vote, and of women's growing hatred of the classic notion that promiscuous men were "studs," while promiscuous women were "whores". In the flappers' eyes, "sheiks" and "shebas" were equal, so they could be just as sexually free. Needless to say, this stance contrasted rather starkly with the more conventional view of women as housewives and mothers who should be subordinate to their men and preferably not leave the house. The popular image of the flapper we know of actually dates back to at least the 1910s. While the word flapper appeared in dictionaries as early as The Gay '90s, the flapper girl started to evolve during World War I and the Prohibition era. As the decade progressed, and with the help of prominent women like Coco Chanel, hats became tighter and narrower, skirts became shorter, and the silhouette more streamlined, like the image you see above. Contrary to popular contemporary imagery, flappers did not always wear sleek bobs, fringed dresses, feathered headbands, nylon fishnets stockings, and open-toed stiletto heels. These were an invention of filmmakers in The '50s, who tried to evoke the era fit for Technicolor cameras. Brief details Actual flappers wore fringe sparingly, and viewed long fringes as very impractical for dancing and expensive, being made of silk or rayon; hemlines at the time were knee length at its peak before dropping in the very later decade; headbands were Edwardian carryovers that persisted through the early 1920s when some women were reluctant to bob their hair before it went out of fashion by the middle of the decade when bobs became commonplace; stockings were rayon, and shoes were round- and close-toed, and the heels were thick Cuban or Louis. In fact, the fringe dress and fishnet stockings were only worn by showgirls, and the popular (mis)conception was only made possible by the invention of nylon. The concept also spread east to Japan and China, where it spawned the "modern girl" (モダンガール modan gaaru, or モガ moga for short) and "modern Miss" (摩登�� modeng xiaojie) cultures respectively. The modeng xiaojie would likely wear high heels and high-slit, figure-hugging dresses called "cheongsams" in reaction to the painful foot binding and the antiquated loose robes of the Qing dynasty. The look, high-spirited attitude, and hedonism of the flapper became less acceptable after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and disappeared following the economic hardships of The Great Depression. Compare and contrast The Suffragette, her predecessor, and The Lad-ette, her direct descendant and Spiritual Successor. |

The Simpsons: There is a photo of Marge's mother in her flapper days, one of which has her being arrested for wearing an Old-Timey Bathing Suit that "showed too much gam". There is also a photo of Marge's grandmother Bambi as a flapper girl with the trademark Bouvier cigarette. Agnes Skinner in her younger years was a flapper and a unicycle-riding wing walker. Though she did dress like one for her date with Comic Book Guy. |

Pandora's Box is a fairly dark take on The Flapper. Lulu definitely qualifies, with the slinky dresses, short bob haircut (which became quite famous for a while thanks to this film), dancing, and sexual liberation. But when The Flapper gets involved in prostitution and murder, it's not so fun. | |

Nancy's aunt Fritzi Ritz was the stereotypical flapper, and was even originally the main character of the strip. Then Nancy was introduced and gradually took over the spot as the main character, and Fritzi's flapperdom was toned down as her role more and more became "Nancy's parental figure." | |

Sappho: Although they don't indulge in the stereotypical dancing, listening to jazz or illicit alcohol, Sappho and Helene otherwise fit into this. Both have the bob hairstyles (Helene from the beginning, Sappho a bit later) and the dress style. The pair are also sexually liberated, unapologetically having an affair together and sharing Sappho's husband, with the setting during the late '20s. It ends badly however as Sappho kills herself when their affair collapses. | |

The Great Gatsby: Most of the females in the novel, both played straight or played with. Jordan Baker, a fashionable and gorgeous golf player who dates Nick Carraway. Mrs Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan's lively mistress. Subverted by Daisy, who isn't spirited and actually dislikes Gatsby's lavish, chaotic parties, and would prefer to stay in her calm world of Old Money. |

My Life as a Teenage Robot: Vexus used this in order to blend in with teenagers, only for Jenny to find out because her apparel was obviously outdated for about a century or so. | |

Our Dancing Daughters (1928) could have been called Flapper: The Movie, as it offers archetypal examples of the trope. All the women in the movie are stereotypical flappers—hard-drinking, sexually liberated young party girls with short haircuts. | |

Olde Wrestling, which has a 1920s theme, turned Kimber Lee/Princess Kimberleenote She was "Abby Laith" for a time on WWE NXT. into "Kickin'" Kimber Lee, a wrestling Flapper. She was a Face and had a match against Working Class Heel Heidi the Riveter.note Heidi Lovelace, aka WWE's Ruby Riott. The match was another chapter in their rivalry/feud that extended across several promotions. The commentators notice "Kickin'" Kimber Lee's dance skills and question whether she has a dance background.

Gina in Porco Rosso, as befits the early depression setting. Especially apparent in comparison to the Edwardian dress she wears in her flashback. | |

Creature Court by Tansy Rayner Roberts is a Culture Chop Suey of 1920s America and Ancient Rome, and contains a fair few of these. Notable examples include Hard-Drinking Party Girl Delphine, who turns out to be a deconstruction as the novel works into the insecurities her lifestyle is hiding, and Livilla for a more murderous variation. | |

Why Be Good? has Colleen Moore as Pert Kelly; short dresses, cloche hats, a Charleston dancing pro, and a healthy respect for drinking equals absolute flapper. | |

Downton Abbey: Lady Rose MacClare, the Crawley sisters' rebellious younger cousin. After Rose begs Robert to let her go out to a club or some such, Lady Mary says: Lady Edith is arguably a subversion: she adopts a flapperish hairstyle, is more than a bit of a tomboy, and fully embraces women's rights—but being who she is (very much a country girl, albeit one who likes to see London from time to time), it's hard to call her a true flapper. Though she'd never admit it, Lady Mary isn't so different from Lady Edith. She loves the flapperish fashions (to the point of going full bob, unlike Edith), can see the point of flapper thinking on sex, and runs her own business affairs (she runs Downton and is a shrewd businesswoman in her own right), but is even more of a countrywoman than her sister, and is a widow and mother of the heir to the Earldom of Grantham to boot. |
