Ruth Hooper
[edit]In an article she wrote for the New York Times, Ruth Hooper, a flapper, made the following argument in defense of the flapper’s viewpoint:
A flapper is proud of her nerve — she is not even afraid of calling it by its right name. She is shameless, selfish, and honest, but at the same time she considers these three attributes virtues. Why not? She takes a man's point of view as her mother never could, and when she loses she is not afraid to admit defeat, whether it be a prime lover or $20 at auction. She can take a man — the man of the hour — at his face value…with no foolish promises that will need a disturbing and disagreeable breaking.
