Key Concepts & Definitions

Flappers and the Charleston dance: Flappers were young women in the 1920s who defied traditional norms by adopting a more liberated lifestyle, characterized by bobbed hair, short skirts, and a carefree attitude. The Charleston was a popular energetic dance associated with flappers, symbolizing the era’s social liberation and jazz influence. Authoritative sources highlight these as symbols of changing gender roles and social norms during the decade.

Sexual revolution and relaxing social norms: The 1920s saw a significant shift in attitudes toward sexuality, with increased acceptance of premarital sex, dating, and individual freedom. This cultural transformation was linked to broader social changes, including women’s greater independence and the influence of Hollywood stars. Source references note that this period challenged Victorian-era moral standards, fostering a new ethic of leisure and personal expression.
