Bernice Bobs Her Hair Illustrated

"Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, written in 1920 and first published in the Saturday Evening Post in May of that year. The story was illustrated by May Wilson Preston. The story appeared shortly thereafter on September 10, 1920, in Fitzgerald's anthology Flappers and Philosophers. In 1951, decades after its publication, literary critic Orville Prescott of The New York Times cited the work as a landmark story "that set social standards for a generation of young Americans, that revealed secrets of popularity and gave wonderful examples of what to say at a dinner table or on the dance floor."
