Women in Afghanistan, 1972: young students wearing mini-skirts walking down the street in city of Kabul. In the Shar-e-Naü area (the new town), a few emancipated girls wear the mini-skirt, despite the violent critics of the majority of the Afghan people, still attached to Muslim traditions. The Mullah, Muslim religious, do not hesitate to throw acid on the nude legs of the emancipated girl. (Photo by Laurence BRUN /Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images)

The pic on the left was never the standard, dunno why people keep posting this over and over? Id get it if it was iran, but afghanistan was mostly rural and every community/ village lived under their 'local' leader.
There was a small group of elites in Kabul that were somewhat economically enabled at the time. These women were by no mean indicative of the average quality of life for women in Afghanistan as a whole. Afghanistan has never been a bastion of progressive thought.
