March is Women's History Month and I've made many women-centric posts during past March months covering female directors , screenwritters , even a post on women who changed televison . I've never made a post on feminist movies so today's post is just that.

While the housewife was still going strong, women began to see they could have other options including working and going about the single life. At the beginning of the decade fashion was still pretty polished women like Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn were incredibly fashionable. Jeans became a popular staple for women to wear, they came in all kinds of styles including narrow, wide and above the ankle. In 1964...
