Kropsidealet/The Body Ideal 1970-1980

Rødstrømperne var kvinder der var medlem af Rødstrømpebevægelsen. Inspireret af den amerikanske bevægelse Redstockings. De ville have at kvinderne skulle acceptere deres krop som den var og vaske makeuppen af. Formålet var kvindefællesskab og kvindekamp. Få kvinder var egentlig rødstrømper. Men bevægelsen ændrede kropssynet, og mange smed bh’en. En stor bh afbrænding blev afholdt. 
Da den økonomiske krise kom i 1973-1974 blev følelsen af frihed mindre. Miniskørter og lange bukser blev ændret til bukser, dragter og kjoler i klassisk stil. Omkring 1977 blev det moderne at vise at man var kvinde, med stilletter, nylonstrømper og hofteholdere. Kvinderne gik med masser af blonder og satin. Undertøjet skulle dog ikke forme kroppen, men blot udsmykke den.

The Redstockings were women who were members of the Redstocking Movement. They were inspired by the American movement Redstockings. They wanted women to accept their body, and wash off their makeup. The aim was female community womens liberation. Few women were real Redstockings. But the movement changed the sight of the body, and many took off their bra. A big arrangement with burning of bras took place.
As the economic crisis came in 1973-1974 the feeling of freedom became smaller. Mini skirts and long pants were changed to pants, suits and dresses in a classic style. About 1977 it became fashionable to show that you were female, with stilettos, stockings and girdles. The women wore lots of laces and satin. The underwear shouldn’t shape the body, but simply decorate it.
