I picked this book up because I am fascinated by the 1920s and it didn't disappoint. Flappers offers a good snippet of six extraordinary women. Each woman is the subject of two chapters in the book; one about their beginnings and rise to prominence and one about their prominence and struggles later in life. I confess that I knew nothing about Lady Diana Cooper and felt less interested in the chapters related to her. It would appear that the author was particularly interested in her as her chapters seemed more complete. 
 Personally the one thing that bugged me about the book was its comments about celebrity. These woman were the celebrities of their day. They struggled with combining their public and private lives. Yet I shudder tho think that in 80 or 90 years people will be reading about the likes of the 
 Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Miley, etc. I would prefer to live in a world where they are insignificant.
