"The most important single factor that is to come out of the war is woman."
 * Quote 1**: Edward W. Bok, 1918, editor of Ladies' Home Journal

"I think a woman gets more happiness out of being gay, light-hearted, unconventional, mistress of her own fate, than out of a career that calls for hard work, intellectual pessimism and loneliness. I don't want my daughter to be a genius, I want her to be a flapper, because flappers are brave and gay and beautiful."
 * Quote 2:** Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1924
