Prominent Women in the 1920's

There are always and will always be an infinite amount of famous people (or people who do good things) so here are my top 4 favorites and a summary of their work:

1) Mamie Smith: This African American Woman was the first person to record a Blues album. I love her ambition and her nontraditional beauty.

2) Coco Chanel: This French designer produced the first Chanel No. 5 perfume on May 5th, 1921 and later because a famous French Designer. Are you a fan of Chanel perfume or hand bags? Thank Coco. Although she was raised in an orphanage, she learned to sew and eventually began working with a famous designer and ditched him for someone better ;) I like Coco Chanel because of her simplicity of her beauty, her ambition. You can't forget how amazing the invention of that little black dress is!

3) Zelda Fitzgerald (Wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald):


She was the muse of the Jazz Age. Although she was married to one of the most prominent American writers of the 20's, she had a writing career of her own and wrote her own novel Save Me the Waltz. Although she had a nervous break down which crushed her dreams of being a ballerina, she decided to take up writing and painting instead. She is most known for her marriage to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda is prominent because she is the face of the flapper. She signifies all things modern. (In the 1920's of course). I love Zelda because she proved her separation from her husband by writing her own book.

4) Bonnie Parker: Bonnie Elizabeth Parker is known for her infamous crimes and relationship with Clyde Chestnut Barrow. With Clyde, she participated in the Barrow gang and robbed places through out the Great Depression as well as performing other crimes. In this gang she participated in, 9 police officers were killed, banks were robbed as well as many small rural stores. She is one of the most famous female criminals; in 21 months, her team of people killed 13 people and went through the lower half of the United States, robbing several establishments. Before her death in Gibsland, Louisiana in 1934 at the age of 24, she managed to become a popular criminal. Today, we still know of Bonnie and Clyde. I like Bonnie because she managed to become one of the world's most famous criminals in only 24 years!
