Folks,

Here are some readings for you to dig into. There’s more on the way — just a couple of chapters from a very different book — but I won’t be able to post them until later — maybe Sunday. For now, check out these excerpts from Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern by Joshua Zeitz:

We’ll talk about flappers, the idea of the New Woman, and fashion in Tuesday. Read as much as you can, as carefully as you can, and be ready with any questions you might have.

By the way, your work ended up at the office a little late–around 2pm. I believe it was available for you by about 3pm, but you should be able to pick it up Monday if you didn’t get it today.
