"Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?"

This quote by Joan Crawford reflects the attitude of lots of people in the 1960s and 70s towards the Women's Liberation Movement. Crawford indicates that the females involved in the motion are dissatisfied and bitter, recommending that they are not content with their lives and are looking for something to blame. This attitude is reflective of the sexism and misogyny that prevailed in society at the time, and the idea that females ought to be content with their lot in life. Crawford's quote indicates that the Women's Liberation Movement was unnecessary which females should be content with their conventional functions in society. This attitude prevailed at the time, and it is just recently that society has started to recognize the importance of the Women's Liberation Movement and the progress it has made in regards to gender equality.
