The sixties were the days of the liberal ways. Be you, be free to seek social change.
The fifties were the way of the conservative rules. Follow guidelines placed upon you. Fight no cause, fight nothing at all.
The seventies were the days of liberal views. Accept changes that go against restriction. Where ladies wasn't dictated to always wear dresses. Many, now by choice could wear britches or pants in the workforce.
The Forties were the time when working women shined. Many built the armors, the planes during the war times. Just to be placed back into an assigned role when many soldiers returned.
In life, many earned this respect.
Ladies, never get their total dues. But in truth, we owe them many gratitudes.
