Early History of Women Women’s Rights Movement 1960s-1970s-second wave of feminism First wave-1920s Little headway for equal rights WWII-women gave back their jobs 1950s-suburban housewife- epitome of good life https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=jh0IpGCA0xI What is meant by feminism? When was the first wave of feminism in the US? What major right had been given to women at that time period? Based on the image and video, what is the portrayal of women in the 1950s?

Push for Equality Rebirth of women’s rights movement in 1960s & 70s Civil Rights Movement Brought black and white women together Women fought against traditional gender roles Wanted to work Opportunities to not just be housewife Betty Friedan-Feminine Mystique Large amounts of workplace discrimination Dead-end jobs Pregnancy Advancement and careers blocked How did the Civil Rights Movement contribute to the rebirth of the Women’s Rights Movement? Read the quotes from Feminine Mystique. What are some of the major messages Betty Friedan was writing about? What were some of the specific issues women faced in the workplace?

Demand for Action Establishment of National Organization for Women (NOW) True equality for all women Full and equal partnership of sexes NOW and Government Wanted ERA-guarantee gender equality under law Reproductive Rights Protests and use of media to advance causes Not all onboard-Phyllis Schlafly- ”women’s liberation assault on family, marriage, and children” ERA defeated on becoming constitutional amendment What were some of the major goals of NOW? What was the biggest thing they wanted to obtain and what would this have done? What is meant by Schlafly’s quote? Why do you think so many, including women, had such an issue with the ERA and women’s equality guaranteed under the law?

Impact of Women’s Movement Many successes Women’s roles and opportunities expanded Legal Rights Given to them Still very controversial Gaining more Rights Title IX of Higher Education Act-no discrimination in education Collegiate athletics- ratio of women to men participating in collegiate athletics had to mirror ratio of women to men in school Less women coaches Roe v. Wade (1973) More women in workplace Certain industries expanded to women Issues-women make less than men Majority of US’s poor-single women Bear responsibility of working and being a mother What are the big successes of the Women’s Rights Movement? Where do issues still exist? What is meant by Title IX? Why has Title IX been good? Why have there still been issues with Title IX? What right was given to women in Roe v. Wade?
