We will gradually explore the different expectations that were present for women in the 1960s, and discuss how the features women may or may not live up to those patriarchal norms.In addition, I will be providing you with different links to various external media that help create a general understanding of the role of women in the 1960s. So, sit back, relax, pour yourself an Old Fashioned and we'll be on our way! Welcome to the sixties.
