'I suppose I am a flapper.'

"If one judges by appearances, I suppose I am a flapper. I am within the age limit. I wear bobbed hair, the badge of flapperhood. (And, oh, what a comfort it is!). I powder my nose. I wear fringed skirts and bright-colored sweaters, and scarfs, and waists with Peter Pan collars, and low-heeled "finale hopper" shoes. I adore to dance. I spend a large amount of time in automobiles. I attend hops, and proms, and ball-games, and crew races, and other affairs at men's colleges..."
~"A Flapper's Appeal to Parents," published in Outlook, December 6, 1922.

A little sketch I did today in History class of a flapper, just cuz. That would be why it says El Dorado at the top of the page, aheh. The quote is from an article from the 1920s which I think is really interesting. It's all about a flapper talking to parents and how she claims that they don't understand the younger generation, and basically begs the parents to help teens understand them and help them in the new era after the war. Pretty cool stuff. --> [link] -
