Scott Fitzgerald\u003c\/b\u003e (1896-1940): American novelist most identified with the jazz age. His short stories and early novels captured both the exuberance of the jazz age and, increasingly, his disillusionment with it. \"Bernice Bobs Her Hair\" is his most well-known flapper story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eZelda Fitzgerald\u003c\/b\u003e (1900-1948) was a Southern debutante, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and author in her own right. In the 1920s, she gained notoriety as a flapper through Fitzgerald's writing and their well-publicized lifestyle and as such helped solidify the definition of flapperdom in the public consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnita Loos\u003c\/b\u003e (1888-1981): Screenwriter, author, and playwright most famous for \u003ci\u003eGentlemen Prefer Blondes\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), a humorous novel whose main character, Lorelei Lee, is a chorus girl, unabashed gold-digger, and arguably literature's most famous flapper. First involved in the film industry in 1912, Loos has well over 100 film writing credits. The influence of writing film scenarios can be seen in the present-tense of \"Why Girls Go South.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDorothy Parker\u003c\/b\u003e (1893-1967): Critic, author, humorist, and screenwriter most often identified as a member of the infamous Algonquin Round Table - a group of intellectuals and wits associated with the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e magazine who lunched at the Algonquin Hotel in mid-town Manhattan. Though Parker is most often identified as a humorist, due in part to her acerbic criticism and humorous poetry, she was a serious author with deep political convictions.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 6.4 x 4.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772450308384,"sku":"9781782279303","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0af98ca4a465265c7c8dd746133fc3b4.webp?v=1780405936","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/where-all-good-flappers-go-essential-stories-of-the-jazz-age-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
