Zelda: The name evokes the Jazz Age. She was the epitome flapper: dancing, drinking, kissing, flirting. The ladies portrayed in the photographs from Mary Bennett's album are not synonomous with Daisy Gatsby. They lived in a different segment of society where women were expected not to drink, nor did they aspire to riches, breaking engagements until the suitor's fortune turned. These ladies married gentle men, good husbands.
