The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan “ ”

Before the 1970s, an American woman could not... 1. Keep her job if she was pregnant. Until the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978, women could be fired from their workplace for being pregnant. 2. Report cases of sexual harassment in the workplace. The first time that a court recognized sexual harassment in the workplace was in 1977 and it wasn’t until 1980 that sexual harassment was officially defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. 3. Be acknowledged in the Boston Marathon. Women could not don their running shoes until 1972! 4. Get a credit card. Until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act in 1974, women were not able to apply for credit. In 1975, the first women’s bank was opened.

5. Refuse to have sex with her husband. The mid 70s saw most states recognize marital rape and in 1993 it became criminalized in all 50 states. Nevertheless, marital rape is still often treated differently to other forms of rape in some states even today. 6. Compete as a boxer in the Olympics. It wasn’t until the 2012 London Olympics that women could compete in boxing in the Olympics. This was marked with the amazing victory by Britain’s Nicola Adams. 7. Get a divorce with some degree of ease. Before the No Fault Divorce law in 1969, spouses had to show the faults of the other party, such as adultery, and could easily be overturned by recrimination. 8. Have a legal abortion in most states. The Roe v. Wade case in 1973 protected a woman’s right to abortion until viability.

V. Gloria Steinem Phyllis Schlafly

On March 22, 1972, the Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution, which proposed banning discrimination based on sex. The E.R.A. was sent to the states for ratification, but it would fall short of the three-fourths approval needed.
