This is especially enjoyable to watch and hear because you included the authentic music sounds of the 1920s.

I heard they were called "flappers" because of the way they danced. When they swung their arms around people thought they were flapping their arms like a bird.

Excellent representation of the Flappers. People normally gloss over the cultural atmosphere that existed during that time. And most impressive is that you explained why they came to an abrupt halt because of the Great Depression. I'd love to see more of your 1920s slang... like it's the bee's knees, hay burner and hotsy totsy.

as a new nursing assistant in Mesa, Az. 1982, i luv history and got great stories from some residents in care center. Memorable was a few proclaimed, ' Flappers' so only few story or general memory that brot a smile to their faces when asked about it, life back then...

Great Job! I will be using this today as I discuss the culture of the 1920's with my students.

the majority of women then were not flappers, because it was considered a whore would wear shorter skirts, makeup and shorter hair and he said it was mostly society women or in big cities mostly, or college women, and also employers did not hire women if they wore makeup, shorter hair and knee length dresses and skirts

Second time watching. The narration is great and the composition of the script is beyond belief!

According to Vogue magazine, the word Flapper was attached to the young women of the twenties when they were still young girls. There was a trend for their mothers to hold the girl's long hair back from their faces with huge ribbons tied at the top of their head in a flattened bow which huge down the sides of their heads like big flaps. You can easily see this fashion if you find pictures of young girls from around 1910-1920.

I'd heard it was because of how their clothes/jewelry flapped when they moved/danced. Probably a bit of everything.

This is excellent! The relation between music coming out of black communities, being associated with overt sexualization of the woman and then crossing over into the white (elite) mainstream is a common phenomenom in the whole American continent. The very same thign happened with samba and the birth of bossa nvova in Brazil, where I come from. Tks again!

Concise and entertaining, while honest in perspective

The term Flapper didn't originate in Europe. I use to work for a few elderly ladies. They all said that the term came from how they wore their galoshes back in the 20s. They couldn't walk around in their nice shoes when it was raining and muddy. So they'd wear their boots and leave the top 2 snaps undone. The boots made a flap flap flap sound when walking. They left the top snaps undone so they could change into their fancy shoes quickly.

"The term flapper originated in Great Britain, where there was a short fad among young women to wear rubber galoshes (an overshoe worn in the rain or snow) left open to flap when they walked. The name stuck, and throughout the United States and Europe flapper was the name given to liberated young women."

One thing you left out was the influence of the flappers in Europe. In Europe, particularly in Berlin, the flapper culture was probably bigger than it was in the U.S. deserves a mention.

It's kind of a shame that he feels the need to tell us not everyone in the 20's dressed as flappers. That's like someone 100 years from now saying that 65 year old women in 2023 didn't wear backwards baseball caps, leather, and tattoos. Duh.

Hi, only tight lacing squeezed people enough to displace organs. The vast majority of women never did this- in fact, The way most corsets were worn historically was extremely comfortable. It would have had to be, to be in fashion for working women for so long. Present corset's as being by their very nature. Tight fitting restricting Crushing, squeezing or impractical to any real movement. Ignore the long history of women doing normal work in them. There is fashion historians who wears a historically accurate corset on a daily basis for an example of what happens when someone wears a historically accurate corset undergarment (spoiler alert. Nothing happens) they can do literally everything as a person can do corset-less.) I'm sorry your research was misinforming you. This misinformation and myth is pretty Prevalent, and I understand how this mistake could get made. But the verdict among fashion historians is absolutely clear: The corset was just an undergarment, and not at all the torture device rumor now has it that it was.

In the sixties and seventies the cool/beautiful woman had long hair , "that rolls and flows all down her breasts" (Bob Dylan, 1964). How unliberated is that? What a burden. I think up does are funny; hair piled upon hair. Or Loni Anderson on "WKRP in Cincinnati". What a joke. Check out Amelia Earhart's style: short and windblown. Is that not freedom?
