Throughout the 1970s in Europe and across the world, women increasingly shone a light on continuing inequality between the sexes. While most had the right to vote, they still experienced discrimination and restricted freedoms in public and private life. The question of the body emerged as a central one during this period. In Western Europe, it was not so much a matter of winning equal rights, but of achieving affective equality including within the “private” sphere of the family.
