Civil Society Protest

Women’s Liberation Movement Overview


19th century women capaigned for voting rights, equal pay, the right to work in “male” fields, the
right to education and marriage/divorce rights (First-wave feminism)



In the 1950s women had unequal opportunities

- Limited careers
- Seldom promoted
- Longer hours for less pay
- Seen as weak, emotional housewives



In the 1960s the “Women’s Movement” emerged (Second-wave feminism)

- Demanded equal opportunities as men
- Demanded the right to make their own decisions about their lives (greater independence)
- Inspired by “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan (1963)



National Organisation for Women (NOW)

American organisation founded 1966

- Campaigned to change laws and end discrimination in courts
o Laws concerning marriage and divorce, abortion, education and employment
- Lobbied for maternity leave and childcare centres so women could have kids and a career



National Women’s Liberation Conference

British organisation founded in 1970

- More radical than NOW
o Demanded equal pay, free contraception, abortion and childcare, independence
- Adopted more forceful tactics
