Go-go boots became popular after movie star Honor Blackman, as Cathy Gale and Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel in The Avengers, were seen wearing knee high, black leather go-go boots. Boots became a trademark of the show world. However, it was Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit, "These Boots Were Made For Walking" that captured the public imagination and launched theboot on its road to hipness.

closets. She was the main figure of fashion during this time.

SOCIETY roles

-WomenDuring the 60s women from WWII baby boom were beginning to enter the work force at higher numbers than ever before demanding equal rights and equal pay. There were problems with sexual harassment and unequal and discriminatory actions against women in the workforce.Since the federal government approved birth control in 1960 over 80% of women were using the contractions. This affected the rate of child birth significantly as less children were being born.

SOCIETY roles

-African AmericansAfrican Americans were still being treated unfairly, although in the 60s a number of legislations were passed to help them out including

the passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964, that banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin in employment practices and public accommodations

the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that restored and protected voting rights

the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing.

African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people both white and black were inspired to action.

ReligionThe mainline Protestantism no longer

represented all of society's spiritual interests in the 1960s because the baby boom produced a large population that had different ideas and opinions which gave birth to more complex diverse religious groups and practices. There was an increase in the belief of separation of church and state.
