Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern by Joshua Zeitz

informative medium-paced

4.5

This was actually a fascinating and easy read. It’s been on my shelves forever and I wish I’d gotten to it sooner. The premise is just a biography of some famous people in the 1920s but really it delves into so much more than that. They were the loose backbone for a longer discussion on feminism, racism, and the changing of the American landscape. I found myself comparing it heavily to a lot of the shit going on now. It felt a bit too praising of Chanel but did mention her Nazi stuff later which is better.
