Mary Richards Was "Hardly Revolutionary" In The Feminist Movement of the 70's?!?
In the midst of second wave feminism, Mary Richards found instantaneous critical and popular acclaim in 1970s. Though Mary was hardly a revolutionary in her ways, she was a single working woman who was attractive and entirely likable at 30, yet unmarried. The horror! The show portrayed her as equally preoccupied with her career and her love life, which really pushed forth the cultural image of the successful, independent woman in its most approachable terms up until that point. Besides, can you say “greatest intro ever?” We dare you to watch it and decide to grow up to be someone other than Mary Richards. (Hint: It’s impossible.)
