If you want the audience to quickly place the timeframe that a work takes place in, the easiest way is to sprinkle it with the aesthetic that the timeframe is famous for. In the case of the RoaringTwenties, few things are as iconic as TheFlapper, and all flappers (at least, according to Hollywood) have bobbed hair, whether the [[BobHaircut Louise Brooks eton crop kind]], the Clara Bow QuirkyCurls kind, or the femme, wavy JoanCrawford kind.

A character wearing such a hairstyle will more often than not also be TheFlapper, although she could alternatively represent another type of socially progressive woman. Because this was a time frame where women were expected to be subservient to men and StayInTheKitchen, defying LongHairIsFeminine is a powerful visual statement that the woman in question didn't subscribe to the then-accepted notions of a "woman's place."
