- By: Angelina Cote
- My friends and I were known as the best flappers in those days
- Flappers? Grandma were you a bird or something?
- 13-year-old Maria wants to go out with her friends but is disappointed with her mother's answer. She sits at the table and talks to grandma. She's hoping to get grandma to convince mom to say yes, but grandma has other plans.
- Oh it was!! it did great things for this world you live in now
- IDK grandma, that doesn't sound very great.
- Grandma goes on to tell her about how she remembers going out in her days. How much fun it was. How rebellious she felt. How glad she is that I don't have those kinds of problems.
- A speakeasy was an illegal underground bar. At the time alcohol was against the law
- WOW!! That's so cool grandma... but whats a speakeasy?
- Grandma tells Maria that when she was young, women were forced to stay home and tend to the house and kids. "We were not allowed out", she said, "not until the great 1920s! A time of fun and the most important cultural change."
- Haha! Definitely not Maria.
- Maria got to learn all about how the women who were flappers, acted and did things just like men. How her generation changed the world and gave women freedom. How she partied all night in the best speakeasy in town.
- The Prohibition of alcohol in the 1920's. Grandma tells Maria that when it was banned people started making speakeasies so men can party and go out still. "Thankfully it didn't last that long." said Grandma.
