garconnière:
Important to the popularity of the bob was the 1922 publication of Victor Margueritte's novel La garçonne, about a young "modern woman" who rejects her bourgeois family, cuts her hair, adopts male dress, and leads a "liberated" life in Paris.

According to René Rambaud, the novel, which became an overnight best seller, inspired young women throughout France to cut their hair and to follow the new style "a l'allure garçonnière." After 1922, the new styles were associated particularly with the young, sexy, independent "garçonne" or "femme moderne."
