Second wave feminism occurred in the 1960s-1970s and focused on improving women's rights in the workplace such as equal pay, employment opportunities, and freedom from sexual harassment. It also aimed to increase reproductive rights and challenge traditional gender roles that restricted women to domestic duties. Protests and lobbying achieved some successes like equal pay laws, but discrimination persisted and the movement continued pushing for full legal equality and choice over women's lives.2nd Wave Feminism

The document summarizes the feminist movement from the 1950s-1970s. It discusses how in the 1950s-60s, many employers refused to hire women despite their education levels. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made gender discrimination illegal and inspired the feminist movement. Betty Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique addressed women's dissatisfaction with traditional gender roles and sparked further activism. Organizations like NOW advocated for women's rights. By the early 1970s, attitudes were shifting as more women entered previously male-dominated fields and the Supreme Court legalized abortion and struck down bans on contraception. However, full equality, such as through the Equal Rights Amendment, was not achieved.Women's Rights

Women's suffrage began in the United States in 1848 and women fought for decades to obtain the right to vote. They organized associations, went on strikes, and protested to gain support for their cause. Finally, in 1920 the 19th amendment was passed guaranteeing women the right to vote. However, women's rights have not been equal throughout the world and continue to be an issue today in some nations. Prior to gaining equal rights, women faced discrimination and were restricted to lower paying jobs with less opportunity or respect.Women's Rights History in the U.S.

The document summarizes the development of the women's rights movement in the United States from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. It describes how women fought against laws like coverture that restricted their rights. Key events and figures discussed include the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 that produced the Declaration of Sentiments, suffrage campaigns led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and western states beginning to grant women the right to vote in the late 19th century. The movement culminated with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 granting women nationwide the right to vote.Women's rights

By the early 1900s, most western countries had granted universal male suffrage. The women's suffrage movement in Canada worked to expand voting rights to women as well. Key organizations in the late 19th century promoted women's issues and social reform. World War 1 influenced expanding voting rights, first to women related to soldiers, then all female citizens over 21 for federal elections by 1918. The Persons Case decision of 1929 declared that women were eligible for political office. Continued advocacy led to greater social and economic opportunities for women in the post-war period and beyond.Why did women not have the vote?

Before women could vote, many argued they were too emotional or that their role was only in the home. Opponents claimed women did not need to vote as their husbands could influence elections. Some MPs argued women would wear large hats that obstructed views or were too impressionable. However, many women wanted equal treatment and believed voting would help them gain more control over their lives and influence policies around issues like poverty they faced. Support for women's suffrage grew as more saw voting as a way to participate in class-based politics.Women in America

Women made significant gains in social, political, and economic rights during the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1970s, the National Women's Political Caucus was formed and Title IX banned sex discrimination in schools. More women entered college and the workforce. The 1980s saw further advances, like the first female Supreme Court justice and space shuttle astronaut. However, media depictions of women were complex, with shows portraying independent women but still under male control, and music exploiting women's sexuality as the ideal. Overall it was a time of both progress in rights and ongoing conflicts around traditional versus changing social roles.History of Women's Rights in the U.S.

During the early modern era in Western Europe, women's roles were largely confined to farm work and family life, with little access to education. The spread of Protestantism further limited women's roles. Enlightenment ideas and the political revolutions of the late 18th century began inspiring calls for greater gender equality. However, the Industrial Revolution led to women dominating the lower-paid jobs in factories while cultural norms pushed middle-class women into domestic roles. By the 19th century, women began campaigning for the right to vote in Western democracies, achieving some successes in the early 1900s.Feminism Theory

During the Revolutionary War period, women were believed to have inferior intellects to men. The concept of Republican Motherhood emerged, emphasizing women's role in raising children to embrace republican values and be good citizens. In the early 19th century, women had no legal rights and their property and children were controlled by their fathers or husbands. The "Cult of Domesticity" defined women's sphere as the home and her role as civilizing her family. Some women argued this made women slaves. The women's rights movement emerged in the mid-19th century advocating for women's suffrage. The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote in 1920.

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.WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.pptx

This document discusses the history and goals of feminism and women's empowerment movements around the world. It traces the development of these movements from the first-wave feminism of the 19th century, where women fought for rights like voting, to the second-wave in the 1960s-80s which addressed issues like domestic violence and reproductive rights. Current movements, referred to as the third and fourth waves, still have many issues left to address regarding women's rights and equality. The document outlines how feminism seeks to challenge patriarchal systems and beliefs that oppress women and disadvantage them economically and socially.Trabalho qualitativo de inglês ingles

Upper-class white women in the 18th and 19th centuries helped shape American identity, economy, and politics despite facing legal restrictions. They promoted Republican Motherhood to educate women for raising educated citizens. They advocated for social reforms through temperance and abolitionist movements. While having little direct economic role, their management of the home allowed men to work and families to function in a changing economy. Women began to question their limited roles and speak out on issues, though they lacked political power like the right to vote for most of this period.Changing Roles of Women

During the 1950s, the ideal family consisted of a mother, father, and children, with the woman's role being a homemaker. In the 1960s, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, helping establish the National Organization for Women to fight for gender equality. Gloria Steinem also worked to raise awareness of women's rights issues through media in the 1970s. However, Phyllis Schlafly opposed the women's liberation movement and the Equal Rights Amendment, believing women's place was in the home.Feminism

The document summarizes the feminist movement in the United States from the 1960s through the 1970s. It describes how, despite more women obtaining higher education in the post-World War II era, they still faced significant discrimination in the workplace and wage gap. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited gender discrimination and inspired the feminist movement. Books like The Feminine Mystique and organizations like NOW advocated for women's rights and equality. By the early 1970s, attitudes were shifting as more women entered previously male-dominated fields and the Supreme Court legalized abortion and contraception. However, the Equal Rights Amendment ultimately failed to be ratified.Second wave feminism

- 2. Second Wave Feminism Begining in the early 1960’s lasting through to the 1970’s. While the first wave of feminism was because of wins of voting rights and property rights , the second wave had more to do with: The rights of woman in the workplace
- 3. Equal pay for equal work
- 4. Fair employment opportunities for married women
- 6. The role of women in the home
- 7. Inequalities for women in defacto relationships
- 8. Other legal inequalities for other women in married relationships
- 10. Second Wave Feminism In the 1960s the Women’s Liberation Movement were lobbying for better rights for woman in the workplace. At the time women were not getting equal pay for equal work of equal value. Women couldn’t work in ‘men only’ profession areas. Women were being sexually harassed and abused by there male bosses. Women couldn’t work if they were married because their job was supposed to be in the home. By 1966, women were able to continue work after marriage in the Federal public service, and in 1969 women were given equal pay for equal work. However, this did not end deep-seeded cultural attitudes towards women in Australian society, and although further progress was made during the 1970s it only became illegal to discriminate against women in 1984, after the passing of the Sex Discrimination Act.
- 11. Second Wave Feminism Women became more politically aware during the ‘70s. They began advocating for further equality. Reproductive rights, sexual freedom and women’s familial roles went to the top of their agenda. Although The Pill gave women a greater control over their reproduction, they were still unable to seek safe abortion under Australian Law. This caused women to seek ‘backyard abortions’ which had a very high risk involved due to them not being administered by a learned medical practitioner. Prior to the mid-60’s a woman’s role in a family household was to cook, clean and look after the children. This stigma was considered the norm in the patriarchal society that Australia once was. Second Wave Feminists protested against these restrictions.
