I know well a lady about that age who is just retiring after a very successful career as a litigator (product defense, mostly). She rose to lead a Practice Group and sit on the Board and Management Committee of a large law firm (Amlaw 250) here on the East Coast.
Her stories about some events while she was a summer associate in the early 1970s and a young litigator are just truly remarkable. (Not sexual assault -- just the way the firm and senior partners dealt with women.)
Our local bank (top 30 city by population) would not allow my mother to open her own individual checking account in the mid -1960s.

I have heard, in addition to such stories about firms, stories about abominable treatment of women in law school in the early 70s, e.g., being required to stand up and state their LSAT scores as justification (or lack thereof) for their being present at the school; only being called on or permitted to ask questions in class on particular days, and the like.
