Is there a correlation between women growing up poor and neglected (their economic status) and wanting to become flappers, or change the way they look and are? Was becoming a flapper their way of creating positive change for themselves and giving them a higher economic status?

In the article on Clara Bow by ABC-CLIO it discussed her life before she became a famous movie star, usually playing the role odf a flapper. She grew up in a family with very little money and old and ratty clothing. I believe that women who grew up in poor/low economic statuses wanted to become flappers because they led glamorous life styles and got to wear fancy clothes and a lot of jewelry, something people who had little money growing up never got to experience. I think having low economic statuses is what gave many women the yearning to become flappers and movie stars who played the role of flappers,  because flappers were the opposite of how women who were poor grew up. This is because flappers got to wear fancy revealing clothing, something they never got the chance to own, lots of jewelry, something they could have only dreamed of owning, and all the attention was on them and how beautiful they looked. Becoming famous as a result of becoming a movie star of flapper girl gave women the chance to be exposed to a life they had never been exposed to before, a life that they only would have been able to picture as theirs when they were little. Clara Bow love being the center of attention and being rich so much that when her career came to an end she became suicidal and needed mental help. I think the reason made such drastic changes to the ways the looked and acted was because they wanted to get as far away from the past as they could, they didn't want to return to lives that they had been living before they got the rigth to vote, which in return entitled them to more rights, freedoms, and privileges. If flaunting their, women's, bodies off was a way that could open up a new life, and life style, they were willing to do that because they wanted to know what it would be like to have everything they never had when they were growing up. This is why i believe having low economic statuses is directly related to women wanting to become flappers and movie stars that showed off their bodies because it was a way for them to get and become what they could only have dreamed of as children.
