Explanation

Flappers’ short hair and shorter dresses departed from traditional expectations that women should wear long hair and modest, restrictive clothing. These styles expressed a rejection of tradition and a desire for greater freedom and equality between women and men. They did not represent a return to normalcy or simply an attempt to imitate jazz singers.
