Second-wave Feminism

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The "second-wave" of the Women's Movement, Feminist Movement, or the Women's Liberation Movement in the United States refers to a period of feminist activity which began during the early 1960s and lasted throughout the late 1970s. Whereas first-wave feminism focused mainly on overturning legal (de jure) obstacles to equality (i.e. voting rights, property rights), second-wave feminism successfully addressed a wide range of issues, including unofficial (de facto) inequalities, official legal inequalities, sexuality, family, the workplace, and, perhaps most controversially, reproductive rights. It failed to add equal rights for women to the United States Constitution. Many feminists view the second-wave feminism era as ending with the intra-feminism disputes of the Feminist Sex Wars, over issues such as sexuality and pornography.
