women's liberation movement
The women's liberation movement is a social and political campaign that began in the late 1960s and aimed to achieve equal rights and opportunities for women. It sought to address issues such as gender discrimination, reproductive rights, and workplace equality. Activists advocated for changes in laws and societal norms to promote women's autonomy and empowerment.
Key events, such as the National Organization for Women (NOW) founding in 1966 and the Equal Rights Amendment campaign, highlighted the movement's goals. The movement also emphasized the importance of intersectionality, recognizing that women's experiences vary based on race, class, and sexuality, leading to a more inclusive approach to feminism.
