A flapper was the new breed of woman that appeared in the 1920s.  They wore short skirts and bobbed their hair.  They smoked, wore makeup, flirted shamelessly, drank in public (at a time when Prohibition was the law in the US) and behaved in a manner that previously had been reserved for 'lewd women'.  They were the feminists of their time,   The Charleston, the Shimmy and the Black Bottom were their dances and they possessed their own slang language.  A 'manacle' was an engagement ring.  'The bees knees' was something really fantastic.

Flapper style was young - flattened chests, short hair and straight lined dresses, usually with bared arms.  They wore no corsets (Eek!) and their knees were on display for just anyone to see.  Eyeliner and red lipsticks, blushes (on cheeks and knees) and powder were necessary.  Coco Channel was the designer of choice - the originator of the versatile 'Little Black Dress'.

Clara Bow was the 'It' Girl of the movies - the girl who had that mysterious something that made a flapper.  Her films were some of the most popular of the 20s.
