Woman) in F. Scott Fitzgerald Works, UNIVERSITAS PAKUAN, Bogor,

This article will provide me with further evidence that the 1920s had a
dramatic effect on the change in the typical American woman rather quickly.
We also get some insider critiques on this “modernization” trend as well.

Chapter 21 will give me information I need on how greatly the 1920s
changed women. More specifically, a section on page 715 called “Breaking
with the Old Morality” will give me specific information on how Hollywood
indirectly helped to reshape the American woman in this decade.

Generation. United States, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2014.
This biographical work documents the lives of six women who came to define
changing sexual and artistic values in the beginning of the twentieth
century, creating the embodiment of the definition of “flapper”. Through this
work, I hope to find several intriguing examples of these unique individuals
providing important contributions to the “modernization” of not just the
American woman, but women everywhere during this era.

This image depicts several young women, who of course live in
Palmetto, Florida, getting in on the latest “flapper” styles of their lifetime.
This image shows how the appearance of the flapper, at the very least, had
replaced traditional 19th-century values across even the youngest
generations.
