Flappers

So I've been pondering Flappers and fashion. And I"m trying to figure out how women went from this kind of clothing... completely covered up and corseted...


 Dress 1872 = about 80 pounds of clothing.
 Dress 1907  Dress 1908
To this... in the span of about ten years.... or less. 
 
Dress 1924


 Dress 1925

 
Dress 1925 
Dancing the Charleston, driving cars, going out in public unescorted, voting, birth control, going to college. What happened?
Just pondering my grandmother's generation.
