What were women trying to accomplish, or prove, by becoming flapper girls and wearing revealing clothing?

During the 1920s a type of women known as flappers emerged. Flappers wore bright red lipstick, facial makeup, tight fitting hats, high heels, a loose and very short dress, and lots of jewelry. They sang and danced and acted, they were performers. They showed a lot of skin and wore revealing clothing. They did this for multiple reasons. Women had just gotten the right to right and other rights and freedoms they previously did not have, and as a result they wanted to think of way to exercise these new freedoms and privileges and dressing and acting in ways in which women never had before, because it wasn't accepted, was one of the ways they decided to use their new freedoms. Since a lot of positive change had been happening to women, a lot of traditional roles and rules had been broken and women thought that they should change the way women dressed and acted to go along with all the other changes that had been occurring, and so they did. It seems that it was a way for women to, in a sense, rebel against the men and show them what they had been missing out on by oppressing women and not treating them as equals. They showed men what they were capable of and that it was a direct result of obtaining equal rights. They wanted to prove that change isn't all bad and that change could be positive for both sides and not just beneficial for the women. Breaking away from past restrictions and dancing and acting in ways that had never really been done before in public was away for women, flappers, to show their independence and not to be disrespectful, although it was construed that way by elder women who were so use to the ways that they had been raise, reserved, quiet, and limited, that it was had for them to accept and understand why women were now showing off their bodies and were happy doing so. That's just it, it made women feel empowered and free being on stage and preforming because for once all the attention was on them and how amazing they looked and were. Flappers wanted to continue the change that was already going on and make new norms for women and erase the oppression and reservation that women felt because being on stage and wearing and acting in ways that flaunted their bodies had never been done before, and they liked being the center of attention and using their new rights and freedoms and that is why some women became flappers.
