Women in the 70s-90s

This week, we learned about women's live's in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Women in these years lived much different lives than the average woman in 2018. Back then, Woman were given roles. They had to act lady-like, when married they would have to stay home and clean the house, stay home with the kids, prepare food for the family, or would fill any other needs that weren't being taken care of by the husband. Overtime, women got extremely tired of this dull, repetitive cycle and decided to challenge the gender role system. Feminism became a much stronger movement during these years and achieved a great deal. Women got many results they fought for and basically proved that they could do the same things as men, and don't need to stay home constantly cleaning and cooking. 
Another way women gained traction in feminism was through music. Instead of singing the typical love song, women began singing about how they wish to not be treated any less respectfully than they should be and other things in which they did not think were right.
Learning about how women made an impact through going against the social norms in class this week, was very informational and engaging.
