In November 1970, members of a newly-formed women s liberation movement in London entered the Miss World beauty competition at the Royal Albert Hall to stage a protest against treating women as objects and ornaments. Disguised as members of the audience they threw flour bombs and stale vegetables at the organisers of the event watched by over 100 million people worldwide.
