Jenni Murray's personal overview on the BBC site is very useful (I remember being asked for a man's signature on things like TV rental agreements in the 70s.)
And if you can get to see Made in Dagenham that documents the strike that got women (almost) equal pay.
It is, however, generally agreed that Margaret Thatcher's premiership, far from being a feminist triumph, set the cause of feminism back by decades.
