the way females are presented in The Great Gatsby Through out the novel, Fitzgerald portrays the women in The Great Gatsby through the female characters Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and some of the other females that randomly show up in Gatsby’s parties. Fitzgerald paint us an image of the way society was at that time and women’s attitudes through these female character’s who each one of them has her own story and they all represent the attitude of females during the 1920’s after the first world war, when there was a prohibition on Alcohol and women gained the right to vote, all these changes lead to the society being secular and people at that time ended up valuing the idea of ‘American Dream’ social status and just having a good time attending parties thus the 1920’s was called the ‘jazz age’. Fitzgerald describes the females as ‘flappers’ because of the way they were dressed and looked.

We also find out in chapter one that she wants her daughter to be a “beautiful little fool” cause according to her that’s the only thing a female can actually be, just look beautiful and be a ‘little fool’ not be smart on an intellectual level.
