The story of "Bernice Bobs her hair" tells of young woman in the time period of 1920
s called flappers.They were known for beinng outgoing and not following the
regulations of a standard "women".The regulations being pure,pious,and middle-class.In
the 1920s women didn't have much say in much politics,goverment, or economy.This
story is when women chose to step pout of the box.
The flapper look is known to be short which seemed as a rebel act.The short cut
wasn't known as being beautiful and attractive such as long hair.Also, more parts to
the flapper looking was short dresses with cuts up the leg symbolizing promiscuous .The
normall look was suppose to be long dresses which covered alot and long hair which
showed feminity.
Much change has came from then but in that generation these rebels weren’t overseen, but looked at as prostitutes and unruling word as such.Their was pout was by their clothing and their hair which they owned and could pamper.This is why the women in 1920s went after this way to break out of their shell.
Today we're free to express ourselves anyway we choose.We don't have to be put in a
unexpressive world.Everyone has freedom and they are now allowed to take advantage of
it.This was the major change of then and now.
