Abstract

Most of the results from the research came in the form of newspaper articles. Since most of the research was done via internet sources using historical databases, the articles have a variety of dates, but are limited to the late 1910s and early 1920s, because this is the time frame during which the subject of our research gained prominence. All the articles speak of people who were either in support of, or against the flapper lifestyle.
