i guess my post was hard to follow - sorry, I kept mixing the decades up. That's because of how I think, I guess.
I don't remember the 70's being hard at all. Maybe that's because there was more of a sense of community. I always remember those wonderful summers when everyone would be outside and on their porches until like 10:00 at night. But there were a lot of divorces among the parents of our generation, starting in the early 70's, and that did cause a lot of women to have to eventually go into the work force.
I do remember the feminist movement of the 70's very vaugely. I remember being 4 or 5 and seeing certain older women on t.v., or among some of the mothers at my school, who were well-off. They were different, though. They really didn't represent any ot the women that I was around. They represented a minority.
But it seemed like a lot of things changed in the 80's. I remember my mom having to go to work after my parent's divorced and I saw it with so many others, and we were lucky compared to anyone growing up on welfare. I mean, I was poor and getting clothes for back to school was really rough because the fad , when I was 11 or 12 , were those $30 and $40 designer jeans like Sasson and Jordache, along with leather Nikes.
