Where All Good Flappers Go: Essential Stories of the Jazz Age (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781782279303)

Zelda Fitzgerald (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.

Anita Loos (1888-1981): Screenwriter, author, and playwright most famous for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (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."

Dorothy Parker (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 New Yorker 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.
