During the period when the Miss World competition was the most-watched TV show on the planet, the 1970 edition was one to go down in history, thanks to the newly formed women's liberation movement. Meanwhile, Western ideals of beauty were being shaken up by new entrants like Miss Grenada (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Miss South Africa (Loreece Harrison).
