Second-wave feminism emerged in the 1960s and continued into the 1980s, focusing on a broader range of issues beyond the right to vote, which was the primary concern of first-wave feminism. This movement addressed topics such as workplace equality, reproductive rights, and sexual liberation, aiming to challenge societal norms and advocate for women's rights in various aspects of life. Key figures in second-wave feminism include Betty Friedan, whose book The Feminine Mystique highlighted women's dissatisfaction with traditional roles, and Gloria Steinem, a prominent activist and journalist. The movement also led to the establishment of organizations like the National Organization for Women (NOW), which worked to promote gender equality and women's rights.
