How did women "roar" in the 1970s and 1980s? Protest, legislation, personal career choices, etc. How do you think they felt hearing this song? What would Helen Reddy think of "Wives and Lovers" (this unit) just nine years before?

How much progress has been made since then? What changes have happened since 1972 because of the women's movement? Working and single moms, day care; women in government, business, military. How have families changed?

What changes would Helen Reddy be pleased about? Are women still "down there on the floor"? What would she think still needs work? Woman president, 50% of seats in Congress, more female CEOs, etc. What is the "glass ceiling"? How can the glass ceiling be eliminated?

What down sides, if any, are there to the big changes in women's lives? Reddy sang that women “can do anything.” It’s often said today that women are expected to do “everything,” not just “anything.” What is meant by this? Do you think it’s true?
