What did women do for the 70s? They set styles and they dared to have their own lives. Here's some things that women made happen in the 70s - 

Equal Rights Amendment

Roe V Wade
Tennis win over a male (Billie Jean King)

Women made 57 cents on a dollar compared to men's wages and by the end of the 70s made 62 cents on the dollar (by 2024 it was 84 cents on the dollar)

Shirley Chisolm ran for president

The good, the bad, and the ugly. Some of the women became idols, others envied, some of them despised, but women weren't leaving the 1970s without stamping an impression on the general public.
