Flappers were women who ditched the conservative looks of the normal society that they were told what was appropriate look for women, and anything else was anything but acceptable to most of America. These women were bold, they cut their hair to sh older length, almost like men's to show a sign of equality, wore dresses that showed their legs, smoked, drank, and went out to extravagant parties.
The society that is in the East and West Egg , are related to flappers, because that is who the women were. Jordan Baker was described as being an incredible woman that drew men to her, she drank and smoked at these raivishing parties.
Many women became flappers all over the country. They liked the idea of being able to just let loose and not have to be so proper and stay home, have no say for their opinion. But with the war ending, women had a chance to feel what freedom and holding their own felt like. And they weren't going back. Flappers not only had fun, dressed up and rejected the norm, it was a symbol of women doing what they wanted and having fed up with less opportunities and discrimination. It what a movement of change for women.
