Earlier in the book, there was also short stories about young girls wanting to live the lives of flappers and about how their families struggled with their decisions. One of the short stories is about a girl who caught the eye of Scott Fitzgerald and about how he had a hard time trying to get a published book. I am now further into the book and it is now telling us about women's fashion back then and about how none of the women liked it but as it was appealing to men, they wore it to be considered beautiful. The book is very historical but in an entertaining way, every chapter is a different way that America was modernised by women.
