Ah, the '70s. From Farrah Fawcett's feathered do to men in leisure suits, this entry in the Fabulous Fashions of the Decades series takes readers along for the wild ride, breaking down the fabulosity into six short chapters: "Hairstyles," "Women's Styles and Fashion," "Men's Styles and Fashion," "Accessories," "Fads and Trends," and "Pop Culture." Vogue's announcement in 1970 here are no rules in fashion anymore" apt, and the individuality that characterized the '70s is reflected in photos throughout (three-piece denim suit, anyone?). However, the women's rights movement seems out of place in the "Pop Culture" chapter alongside lighter topics, such as pet rocks and disco dancing. Readers will likely note how fashion trends (such as the current penchant for friendship bracelets and high-waisted jeans) have a way of swinging back around. A time line charts trends from the 1920s to the present day.

In the 1970s, if you had curly hair, you could sport an Afro. If you had straight hair, you could wear Dorothy Hamill's wedge cut or Farrah Fawcett's feathery flip. Both men and women disco-danced in bell-bottoms and platform shoes. However, equality in the fashion world was not enough. The Women's Liberation Movement wanted women to have the same opportunities in business and education that men had. Readers will learn about the fashions, fads, pop culture icons, and world events of the 1970s.
