List six (6) characteristics of the "flapper" in the 1920s. 2. what or who does the flapper blame (or give credit) for her existence? 3. what effect did "the great war" have on the flapper and her peers? describe three effects. 4. according to the flapper, what should be the characteristics of a good 1920s parent?

According to "A Flapper's Appeal to Parents" (1922) by Ellen Welles Page:

1. Bobbed hair, cloche hats, colourful clothing, makeup, short skirts, drinking and smoking.

2. The distrust of her parents, modern education, the Great War, Prohibition, the disillusions of youth.

3. The War tore away the spiritual foundations of the younger generation. It also challenged their faith. It made this generation "older" and more experienced than other generations before them.

4. Part of the reason women become flappers is because of the condemnation and criticism of their parents. Page argues that 1920s parents should understand that the war and Prohibition have altered the way in which young people see the world, and that youth is difficult. They should be understanding and patient. They should also give their children practical aid, advice, confidence and praise.
