70s Female Body Image

Consider some recent changes in the US. In the 1960s and 70s, beauty ideals for women shifted from the mature curvaceous body of stars such as Marilyn Monroe to the stick-thin, flat-chested figure epitomized by supermodels such as Twiggy or Kate Moss.

Ever since the 70s, body image has always influenced teens. Trying to fit in and look skinny has always been a problem. Media has played a big part in this by showing what they think being beautiful means. The majority of fashion models are size zero, or double zero.
