Explanation:

The Western girls from the 1920s who were rebelling to the previous ideas about women were called Flappers.

They were considered rebellious, even decadent for the time - they smoked, drank, wore heavy makeup, skirts that were considered short for the time (knee-length), sleeveless dresses, listened to jazz and were very independent.

They made moves on the fields of education, science, law, literature, and pursued careers. They demanded economic and social freedom.

They also started the talk about sex and birth control, for the first time in history. All of this took another step when nurse Margaret Sanger provided contraceptive pills for women and started an organization that would become what is today known as Planned Parenthood.
