Detailed explanation-1: -women’s rights movement, also called women’s liberation movement, diverse social movement, largely based in the United States, that in the 1960s and ‘70s sought equal rights and opportunities and greater personal freedom for women. It coincided with and is recognized as part of the “second wave” of feminism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second wave feminism movement took place in the 1960s and 1970s and focused on issues of equality and discrimination. Starting initially in the United States with American women, the feminist liberation movement soon spread to other Western countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1972, conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly launched a movement whose goals-protecting women’s place as homemakers, fighting against abortion, and limiting government welfare and social support-have come to define the modern debate over women’s rights and the role of government in enforcing them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Leaving aside the antiwar movement of the 1960s, which I think played an important role in bringing the war to an end, the women’s movement was the most successful movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The idea that women should enjoy full equality with men was a startlingly radical idea then.
