Before i respond, to all those arguing about frumkeit and halacha and yelling at everything being said that you don’t agree with, YOU are on the internet right now conversing with men and women. Be a little less judgmental perhaps.
I agree with those saying the women of the 60s and so on were extremely frum! My grandmother wore a scarf/hat, didnt cover every lose hair, but i can safely say was as frum if not frummer than any woman i know now! Times do change yes and we roll with the changes, and i understand that. But lets not call some of these chumras Torah. Not having a design on your boot is NOT halacha Popa, neither is the kind of nylon tights a young girl is wearing. I had a friend in a BY type school, she was told that if any of her married sisters were seen on the street in makeup, that she would be kicked out of school. In what way does this make sense? Her parents want her to learn torah, she wants to, but her older married sisters who happen to live near hers actions can result in her termination at school? I just don’t know how society got this way.
