Therefore, we listed ten things in fashion that are actually a symbol of female revolution and that, over time, have helped us to be free and feel comfortable with ourselves.

Mini skirt

The miniskirt is probably the best known sexual revolution symbol.This skirt, above the knees allowed the women of the 60s to take advantage of the sexual and female liberation of the time.

Although it is still debated who created it (there are those who attribute it to Mary Quant and others to André Courrèges), the short skirt was adopted by all women, from students to tennis players.
