Zelda Fitzgerald’s writing first became known when the New York Tribune asked Zelda to write a cheeky review of her husband’s second novel, The Beautiful and Damned. The success of the piece led to Zelda receiving offers to write other magazine articles, one of which became Metropolitan Magazine‘s “Eulogy on the Flapper”. One quote from the piece:

The flapper awoke from the lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into battle.
