That's so amazing - I was a kid in the 70's, and I remember is people talking about 'women's liberation' but I was to young to catch all the nuances.
I do remember the commercial for perfume that said a woman could 'do it all' and we used to run around singing the jingle - 'I can bring home the bacon/fry it up in a pan', but when I look at the commercial now, it seems a bit condescending.
Oh, and the one for Love's Baby soft! It implied that aggressive women didn't get the boys! Driving up in a convertible confidently is a no-no, but wobbling up on a bike with a basket on the front was okay.
But...I never felt there were things I couldn't do, so that was good, anyway.
