Flapper by Josh Zeitz Exhibit Reads: Flapper

Step into the spirit of the 1920s with our next Exhibit Reads selection: Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern by Joshua Zeitz. This captivating book highlights the daring women who shaped a generation. Icons such as Zelda Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, Clara Bow, and Louise Brooks danced, dreamed, and defied expectations during profound transformation.

In conjunction with E.O. Hoppé: Women, Portraits of Achievement in Art, Science, Literature, and Politics, this exhibition celebrates pioneering women who shattered glass ceilings and transformed history. From suffragists to scientists, writers to dancers, Hoppé’s portraits illuminate the strength and individuality of women whose accomplishments defined the early twentieth century.
