The term Flapper originated in Great Britain. The name stuck, and throughout the United States and Europe flapper was the name given to liberated young women. Flappers were bold, confident, and sexy.They were young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz. They were known for being impulsive for wearing way too much makeup, drinking, smoking, and treating sex like it was no big deal. Flappers would attend jazz night clubs where they would dance provocatively, sniff cocaine, and drank alcohol openly. After World War II, the stock market crash of 1929 brought the Flapper era to a sudden end.
