Mission Style – Karin Landgren
In May 1, 1920, the Saturday Evening Post published
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Bernice Bobs Her Hair.” This infamous tale depicts a sweet-but-dull young lady who submits to the barber’s shears and is transformed into a smooth-talking vamp by her fickle society-girl cousin. The heroine would become a role model for many young women.
