AB Transition, dynamism, prosperity, freedom, and youth characterize the Roaring Twenties.Women experienced some of the most radical changes in all areas of life, private and pub-lic, and fashion reflected this newly gained freedom: shorter dresses, short hair, make-up,deep necklines, and a boyish charm. Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s writings mirror this world ofcontradictions: its enthusiasm and frivolity, its freedom and failures. This article analyzestwo of Fitzgerald’s earliest short stories, The Offshore Pirate and The Ice Palace, in order topoint out the writer’s ambiguous way of representing the flapper, positioned at the crossroadsbetween rebellion and conventionality, emancipation and superficiality. The analysis ismainly based on an evaluation of fashion imagery, a tool into decoding Fitzgerald’s mannerof constructing femininity.
