" &amp;quot;Who is woman?&amp;quot; Town &amp;amp;amp; Country wondered in March 1971\u2014a question for the ages but also unmistakably of the age. A 16-page beauty special in that issue called her &amp;quot;liberated.&amp;quot; (The word also appeared prominently in a fashion advertisement offering this advice: &amp;quot;When you move into those male dominated professions, show your tasteful judgement with a cool Adele Simpson linen.&amp;quot;) &amp;quot;The woman of the &amp;#039;seventies,&amp;quot; the magazine reported, was &amp;quot;the author of her own best-selling look.&amp;quot; A 19-year-old Anjelica Huston, wearing an orange crocheted kufi, was one such authoress. Betsy Theodoracopulos, her hair hung with quills, was another. If, as Emily Dickinson had it, &amp;quot;hope is the thing with feathers,&amp;quot; Theodoracopulos must have seen blue skies ahead. Thus dawned what T&amp;amp;amp;C called the &amp;quot;Age of the Self-Invented Woman.&amp;quot; The phrase never caught on, but it came five years before the &amp;quot;Me Decade&amp;quot; and amounted to roughly the same thing.  Gloria Steinem, Barbara Walters, and Sesame Street co-creator Joan Ganz Cooney were celebrated for achievement, while others were singled out for style; fortunately for them, Scavullo&amp;#039;s portraits in silhouette concealed their identities. According to the feature, &amp;quot;the &amp;#039;seventies chic&amp;quot; involved cropping the top and sides of one&amp;#039;s hair while the back had &amp;quot;long wisps in strands to soften the total effect.&amp;quot; In short, a mullet\u2014and possibly the first. Barney Hoskyns, our foremost mullet historian, has dated the cut to 1972, crediting David Bowie, but this evidence suggests that the &amp;#039;do&amp;#039;s true author was, in fact, Paul Mitchell. Ziggy Stardust is officially off the hook.   By any measure 1970 had been a big year for feminism. Newsweek declared &amp;quot;Women in Revolt&amp;quot; just hours before 46 of its own female employees filed suit for discrimination; Susan Brownmiller stormed the offices of Ladies&amp;#039; Home Journal with a list of demands; and Kate Millett&amp;#039;s Sexual Politics was turning wives against husbands and D.H. Lawrence. For Town &amp;amp;amp; Country it was never too soon to have &amp;quot;Second Thoughts on Women&amp;#039;s Lib.&amp;quot;  A roundtable discussion under that title appeared elsewhere in the issue. The all-female panel was credentialed: &amp;quot;each manifestly successful at the life she leads, each considered decidedly attractive by the opposite sex.&amp;quot; Seven of the eight voiced solidarity with the movement\u2014only Mrs. George Plimpton, as she preferred to be known, said &amp;quot;the whole subject leaves me cold&amp;quot;\u2014but the conversation revealed a spectrum of opinion. Dina Merrill spoke appreciatively of &amp;quot;male gallantries,&amp;quot; while Jane Evans said, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t expect them. I&amp;#039;ve been in New York too long.&amp;quot; And they were no fans of the new feminist literature. &amp;quot;All I got out of Kate Millett,&amp;quot; said Barbara Howar, &amp;quot;is a renewed interest in Henry Miller and Norman Mailer.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
