The older women viewed the flappers as different because they didn't follow what everyone else wore they did they did what they wanted. This was a great time for women to experiment with new looks, jobs, lifestyles. This was the time women got to dominated more the men did.

Beauty Pageant where interest and leisure come together on New Jersey beach and the Miss America was born. In the roaring twenty was a new era or new possibility one with women's rights to vote.
