The feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s caused profound changes in public perception and mentalities , favoring the independence of women . Female magicians return to the forefront starring on stages and cabarets .

In 1964 , at age eleven , the young Viviane Mireldo presented , a classical magic number at the Cirque Médrano . In 1966 , she signed a contract to work at the Musée Grévin in Paris and in the 1970s , she “ boxed ” her male partners at the Lido de Paris with her feminist magic .

A woman who stands out for her poetic and melancholic presentation is Tina Lenert ( born in 1948 ) with her act : A dream that becomes reality . Tina also practices mime and harp which she intertwines within her magic .
