Fawcett, Hilary. "Fashioning The Second Wave: Issues across Generations." Studies in the Literary Imagination. March 1975-2010. Hilary Fawcett discusses fashion and how it effected women rights.

Fawcett also explores the connection between fashion to how women are percieved; she describes the fashion of her generation in the 1960s and 1970s, to the style and fashion of young girls now. This article will help me describe styles from the seventies and compare them to styles today.

This article is about the many books, articles, and journals on the history of Hip Hop. Hip Hop is not solely a style and musical fad, but a cultural, political, and intellectual phenomenon. It has truly evolved since its beginning in the boroughs of New York City in the 1970s. Not many people are knowledgeable about the founders of Hip Hop such as Afrika Bambaataa and Kool Herc. The article suggests that in order to appreciate the Hip Hop of today, we need to learn about its past and from there we can begin to evolve its future.
