In a Nutshell |
|
The 1970’s saw women’s role in society and government evolve into a more substantial voice and presence. Similar to the Women’s suffrage movement of earlier eras, different organizations operated under different agendas, yet most women sought equality to male counterparts in economic, legal, and social rights. Students should understand that the right to vote had only been the beginning; during this period, women sought equality in the workplace and freedom regarding reproductive rights. |
