Sometimes I think to myself, Thank Goodness for Feminism! [More:]Tonight I showed my seven year old daughter some video of the bad-ass women downhill skiers and snowboarders, and the pretty boy figure skaters, and I thought to myself how gosh-darned glad I am to get to raise a daughter in a world where there are some pretty cool role models of what it can mean to be a girl or a boy.
(It should go without saying that I also think it's nice for boys to get to be bad-asses and girls to get to be pretty, but presumably those options would be available in a feminism-free world so it doesn't really stand out)

You might enjoy the book When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present by Gail Collins. I am almost done it, and it's been an interesting read.
