Discover "Those Fluttering Flappers" in Heroes and Headlines, a New Blog from the Library of Congress!

Where did the term "flapper" come from? What did she look like? Find out more about flapper lingo and the "It" girl of the 1920s in our new blog, Headlines and Heroes: Newspaper, Comics & More Fine Print!  Sponsored by the Library's Serial and Government Publications Division, the blog will feature stories and highlights from the Library's extensive collections of newspapers, including Chronicling America, as well as our comic book collection and other highlights.

In addition to the millions of pages of newspapers selected and digitized by other libraries for Chronicling America, did you know the Library of Congress has more than 29 miles of shelves of its own newspapers? Read more about it and keep following us on Twitter @librarycongress #ChronAm!
