At this time, women did not openly express sexual desires and many times, those urges were suppressed. Jane exposed her sexuality in public, much to their astonishment.
Nevertheless, Barbarella, started a trend. Women wanted to look sexy. The conservative, perfect, girl-next-door look was becoming out-dated. The idea of women saving the world, while pursuing their own needs, was becoming more acceptable. Times were changing, and so was Jane.
After 1969, Jane underwent another transformation. She took on more serious roles, as she became a more serious woman. She starred in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, for which she was given an Oscar nomination. This movie commented on society. As Jane starred in more serious films, her perception of life took the same route.
Jane became politically active in the 1970's. She was no longer just the bombshell sex-kitten of the 1960's. Jane felt the need to show her intellectual side. During this time, Jane became a political activist. In 1972, Fonda protested the United States involvement in the Vietnam War, by posing in an anti-aircraft carrier, appearing as though she was shooting at American planes. The majority at this time found Fonda's behavior unacceptable, yet at the same time, no one could deny that she had made a bold statement. From this incident she earned herself the title, "Hanoi Jane."" In speaking out, Jane showed that women had a voice. Once again, Jane changed the perception of women. After this incident, women were taken more seriously and were heard more. She showed the public that she wasn't only an attractive girl, but an attractive woman with brains.

Jane started her era with the box office hit Nine to Five (1980), which was a comedy dealing with sexism, an issue that had not yet been so publicly dealt with at the time.
