Realize that you are only talking about women in "westernized" areas
of the world.

In most Muslim countries, there was no liberation of women during the
sixties or at any other time...

Restrictions were and are in place over their ability to travel, get
divorced, interact with men outside of their families, drive, inherit
property, vote, and receive custody of their own children.  In many
countries they are told how to dress and face restriction that require
covering up their bodies.

Funny thing is, most of these women think they have it better than
their sisters in the West.
