Movement for Women’s Rights Amanda Brackbill Amy Martin Vicki Johnson Lydia Rehrer

Women’s Rights – Why?  After World War II, many women were discontent with their standing in society  Feminism was a widespread value among women that they should have economic, political, and social equality with men  The largest source of discontent among women was in the workplace, where discrimination against women gave them smaller wages than men and lower positions. When a woman made a suggestion, it was usually ignored

Why? (cont.)  Women decided to get together to talk about what was happening to them, and realized that they were all experiencing the same thing. The result: the women’s rights movement s/mban997l.jpg

Goals and Ambitions 1.A constitutional amendment that would give women equality with men, especially in the workplace 2.No more discrimination against women 3.The creation of childcare facilities for mothers who have jobs or seek to get them men%27s.JPG pay-debate/Womens%20rights.jpg

America’s Reaction  ERA (equal rights amendment) scared many people, but was passed by Congress. Phyllis Schlafly said that the ERA would lead to “a parade of horribles,” such as drafting women, end of laws protecting homemakers, end of husband’s responsibility to provide for family, and same-sex marriages.  Schlafly also said that the feminists “hate men, marriage, and children,” and were oppressed only by “their distorted minds”  In response to the women’s right movement, the pro-family movement was created, known as the New Right, to protect family values (pro-life, social, cultural, moral problems)  Feminists pushed for the right to get an abortion in Roe vs. Wade, but America was very divided on the issue, and still is today 791a030c28a4-pi

Accomplishments  1972 – Congress passed a ban on gender discrimination  1973 – Supreme court ruled that women had the right to get an abortion within the first 3 months  Expanded the career options of women  Transformed the woman’s conventional roles and attitudes towards career and family  By 1983, women held 13.5% of elected state offices and 24 seats in US congress

Changes in New Era  Women for the first time were considered much closer to being equal to men then ever before  It transformed woman’s conventional roles and attributes toward career and family  It gave them more career opportunities and options entury/decadebydecade/1970s/pic5.jpg
