How did Flappers redefine American women?

Flappers were women of the 1920's who went against societal/traditional norms of how a woman should act. During this era, Flappers were known for their short dresses, bobbed hair cut, love of music, and enjoyment of parties. Before this time, women were seen as individuals who were supposed to dress conservatively, barely showing any skin, and were responsible for staying at home and completing domestic chores.

However, the Flappers changed this mentality forever. This group refused to accept their fate of being housewives and chose to be rebellious. Their focus was no longer about finding a husband and raising a family. Rather, it was about enjoying themselves and doing what they wanted, when they wanted.
