I like the character named Jordan Baker.We can see that Jordan baker is quite different
from most women of her time. Her values and beliefs are very different from most women at that time.
She represents the surfacing of a different type of woman, one who is independent in the jazz age.
Despite having old money and living in the East village with the old aristocracy she is a professional golf player where she earns an income, and so doesn't need to rely solely on the old money she has.
Of course, for us there is nothing rare with women playing golf, but at that era it was quite unusual,
which shows us how she is standing out from the rest.
Moreover, we can see that she read the Saturday Evening Post, and turn the pages with a
"flutter of slender muscles in her arms. Reading a newspaper would be an unlikely
action of a woman of that time and even her muscles reveal her masculine features.
Fitzgerald's masculine depiction of Miss Baker in this fashion shows the reader the coming of
a self sufficient woman into our times.
