Second wave feminism advocated for women's liberation from traditional gender roles and oppression. Key figures like Helen Reddy and Germaine Greer promoted feminist ideas through music and influential books like The Female Eunuch, where Greer criticized how romance and marriage often led to the drudgery of domestic duties and compromised women's independence. During this period, some women publicly burned bras as a symbolic protest against feminine norms they felt restricted women's freedom.

The Tet Offensive was a major military campaign conducted during January-February 1968 by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam against South Vietnam, the United States, and their allies. It involved surprise attacks against major cities and towns across South Vietnam, including Saigon. Militarily, the offensive was a catastrophic failure for the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, as they suffered heavy losses. However, it had important political and psychological effects, undermining support for the war in the United States by contradicting claims by the Johnson administration that the end of the war was in sight. It marked a major turning point in the Vietnam War.Emily davison

Defining feminismquillinn
Ìý
Feminism refers broadly to the doctrine advocating equal social, political, and other rights for women as men. It describes both a philosophy and a cultural/political movement. In its narrow political sense, feminism is the struggle to achieve institutional and economic equality between the sexes. In the late 19th century, women had fewer rights and opportunities than men. They were excluded from many professions and politics. Progress was made in the late 19th century through better education and some legal reforms, but the right to vote in all elections, or suffrage, was still denied to women. This led to the emergence of suffrage movements advocating for women's right to vote.Jack the ripper

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi took power in Iran as Shah in 1941, promising a constitutional monarchy but increasingly consolidated power. He was criticized for being undemocratic and unresponsive to public opinion, as well as aligning too closely with Western powers. In the 1970s, Islamic cleric Ayatollah Khomeini built popular discontent with the Shah's Western-leaning rule and lack of democracy, calling for his overthrow. Mass protests in 1978-1979 led to the collapse of the Shah's government and his exile, replacing it with an Islamic theocracy led by Ayatollah Khomeini.History according to billy joel
