The Women of Gatsby

The famous women of The Great Gatsby: Jordan Baker, Daisy Buchanan, and Myrtle Wilson. All are beautiful with love interests, and all infatuated with glamor and money. Jordan Baker is a competitive golfer who is friends with Daisy. She meets Nick while visiting Daisy. The two later start dating. "Jordan represents one of the “new women” of the 1920s—cynical, boyish, and self-centered." (spark notes) She deceives others, and isn't "careful" as Nick says while she is driving. During her golf tournament she cheats to win even, showing what kind of a person Jordan is. Jordan is not a bad person, she just is deceitful.
Daisy is Nick's cousin. She loves attention and is amazed by wealth. She once had a relationship with Gatsby, but then wouldn't wait for him and decided to marry Tom. She playfully ignores Tom's affair making her look foolish. "In Fitzgerald’s conception of America in the 1920s, Daisy represents the amoral values of the aristocratic East Egg set." (spark notes) Overall, Daisy is seen as annoying and needy.
Myrtle is Tom's mistress, who is married to Mr. Wilson, whom she is not happy with at all. She is completely head over heels for Tom, telling the story of how she met him like it was the best day of her life. She is only an exciting toy for Tom, and she doesn't realize how he uses her. When she continues yelling "Daisy" in his face, Tom decks her in face, yet she still loves him. She is blinded by her love for him.
