Flapper
Flappers were a subculture of young Western women prominent after the First World War and through the 1920s who wore short skirts (knee length was considered short during that period), bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for prevailing codes of decent behavior. Flappers have been seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes in public, driving automobiles, treating sex in a casual manner, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms. As automobiles became more available, flappers gained freedom of movement and privacy. Flappers are icons of the Roaring Twenties, a period of postwar social and political turbulence and increased transatlantic cultural exchange, as well as of the export of American jazz culture to Europe. More conservative people, who belonged mostly to older generations, reacted with claims that the flappers' dresses were "near nakedness" and that flappers were "flippant", "reckless", and unintell ...

La Garçonne (novel)
__NOTOC__ ''The Bachelor Girl'' () is a novel by Victor Margueritte first published in 1922. An English translation was first published in 1923 by Alfred A. Knopf. It deals with the life of a young woman who, upon learning that her fiancé is cheating on her, decides to live life freely and on her own terms. Amongst other things, this included having multiple sexual partners, both male and female. The title translates as ''The Tomboy''. The title addresses the somewhat ambiguous realm between definite gender roles, e.g. where a Judeo-Christian patriarchal society might place a free-thinking, free-living woman in its social strata. Although the theme is not particularly shocking in the present day, at the time it was considered quite scandalous; it even caused the author to lose his Legion of Honour. It has been adapted into a film four times, the most notably in 1936. See also *Flapper *List of early sound feature films (1926–1929) This is a list of early pre-recorded sound ...

Garçonne (magazine)
''Garçonne'' was a Weimar-era German magazine for lesbians. It was published from 1926 to 1930 under the title ''Frauenliebe'' (''Woman Love'') and from 1930 to 1932 as ''Garçonne''. Title The magazine was named after Victor Margueritte's 1922 novel '' La Garçonne''—whose title was translated for English readers as ''The Bachelor Girl''—which was a critique of tomboys and flappers. The word ''garçonne'' is derived from the French word for "boy" (''garçon'') with the addition of a feminine suffix; its closest English translation is "tomboy". After the publication of Margueritte's novel, the term came into popular use as a descriptor for flappers, women who wore masculine clothing, and lesbians. According to Marsha Meskimmon, the relaunch of ''Frauenliebe'' as ''Garçonne'', "the more modish title", provided the magazine with a more marketable title that functioned as "a common currency as a lesbian type". History ''Frauenliebe'' ''Frauenliebe'' was established in Berli ...
