Women of PROHIBITION Gender Barrier is Broken

Prohibition led in a sexual revolution for women. Drinking at speakeasies, mixing more with men, flappers broke from the repression of their suffragette mothers' time.

Thank you very much Ken ! I was searching for this song since I watched the documentary some days before. I love the music from this era. You made me really happy

I saw both Colleen Moor in "Flaming Youth"(1923) and Joan Crawford in "Our Dancing Daughters"(1927)! Both time films time capsules of the 1920s!

very interesting

[@geomodelrailroader]

the 20s and prohibition gave rise to the flapper. You can tell someone is a flapper if their skirt goes above the thigh and they are wearing lots of makeup with bobbed hair. Most of the women who were stars in the 20s were flappers.
