The late 60s / early 70s hippie era had a lot of "women's lib" type songs and media, but personally I find a lot of it missed the mark or just came across as a bit garish or hokey. As a good 80s baby, I've connected way more with similar-minded stuff from the punk and new wave scene. I love this stuff personally and would definitely like to hear more.
Here's a couple to get going. . .
The Field Mice — Song Six (1990)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9l0Wbqswzw
The Passions — Why Me (1980)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6lSSOriBU
Let's make a virtual mixtape!

I’d be interested to hear more about the “women’s lib” songs from the ‘60s; I can’t think of many!

Feel like the slits version of heard it through the grapevine is pretty pro female
