Hello all, 

This is a photo of one of the most prominent styles during the 1920's of the Flapper. This new sort of woman often smoked, drank, partied, and often wore dresses which showed shoulders, elbows, and knees (OH MY!) This is a more feministic sort of woman. Because women had  recently earned the right to vote through the 19th Amendment and she  began to feel her own equality as well as a sense of sassiness. Not only is she beautiful, she is modest ( by today's standards) but she is stepping out of her 'duties' and having fun. Arguably, this is the birth of true feminism: as a whole, women were 'sticking it to the man'
