EarleVivacious, charming, irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time.In this collection of short stories, she's a partygoer, a socialite, a student, a shopgirl, and an acrobat. She bobs her hair, shortens her skirt, searches for a husband and scandalises her mother. She's a glittering object of delight, and a woman embracing a newfound independence.Bringing together stories from widely adored writers and newly discovered gems, principally sourced from the magazines of the period, this collection is a celebration of the outrageous charm of an iconic figure of the Jazz Age. This fabulous collection includes:Zelda Fitzgerald "What Became of the Flapper"Dana Ames "The Clever Little Fool"F.
