After World War 2, there was significant reconstruction needed in many countries. New technologies like washing machines began changing lives, especially for women. In the 1960s, young people led a counterculture revolution seeking more freedom and their own culture with music and fashion. The sexual revolution of the 1970s and 80s gave women more control over their lives including contraception and abortion, allowing them to have greater freedom of choice.
