Without the worry of unwanted pregnancy, women have a larger role in society in general.  Some of the environmentalism, though I don't see that as a 'modern' idea but rather an outgrowth of what happens when you can have people that can go to The Land and talk to it and it's spirits, find out 'hey, what we're doing is bad for the land and - by direct result, us - and here's what we should be doing, and why'.  Those are the most common ones I'll use, and usually about the only ones. Things are, in fact, usually even worse than they were in the High Middle Ages.</blockquote>
