Flappers Something Something

I will try to find the title and the author of this one for you later. It was about women in the jazz age as illustrated by the life of Zelda Fitzgerald. But it wasn't a very good biography or a very good history book. It was an easy read but not very cohesive and brushed over too many important events. Also Zelda wasn't exactly an every woman- and although an icon of her time using her life to talk about the lives of all American women wasn't really effective. Better off reading the Beautiful and The Damned or The Great Gatsby. Maybe they are a little less informative but the language and emotions are powerful- really Fitzgerald at his best.
