She cut her hair and wore short dresses. She enjoyed cocktails, smoked cigarettes, and danced the Charleston. The image of the emancipated, single woman of the 1920s, who rejected tradition and challenged social norms continues to capture the popular imagination. The Bachelor Girl, the Neue Frau, la Chica Moderna, and Moga point to the global scale of the “modern woman” of the 1920s and visibility of women in the public and political sphere. Beyond the modern woman as an active consumer and white-collar worker, images of other rebel women also challenged the gender order in more fundamental ways. Women who were deemed too emancipated, too “masculine,” or rejected the current political and economic order, provoked a visible backlash which had severe consequences for women’s autonomy and independence.
