Certain things of equally that were strived for by women was property rights, women's suffrage, reproductive rights, and even the right to work for equal pay. Methods used to gain these were usually political actions, though books were written, consciousness-raising groups grew, there was much protesting (in the streets, at rallies, hearings, and even at the Miss America Pageant), and a big organization started called NOW (National Organization for Women). ]]> 2017-04-24 12:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167800341 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167817229 In the '60's the woman's world was limited in almost every aspect of life, from the workplace to the home. A woman could only go down one path which was to marry, start a family, and be devoted to homemaking. The average hours a week for women to spend on domestic chores was 55 and only 38% of them who worked were limited to jobs as teachers, nurses, or secretaries. Betty Friedan broke those stereotypes and thoughts in her book, "The Feminine Mystique," and she is sometimes credited with sparking a "second wave" of an American Feminist Movement (with the first wave being women's suffrage). ]]> 2017-04-24 13:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167817229 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167820705 "As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night -- she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question -- "Is this all?" ]]> 2017-04-24 13:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167820705 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167903537 2017-04-24 17:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167903537 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167905683 Case dealt with a CT state law that banned the use of contraceptives. Ruling granted married women the undeniable right to use contraceptives by right to privacy. Even though the ruling did not address the use of contraceptives outside of marriage, it was still a step forward in the movement for women's rights by giving women a choice of what happens to their body. ]]> 2017-04-24 17:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/167905683 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168089699 1. https://tavaana.org/en/content/1960s-70s-american-feminist-movement-breaking-down-barriers-women

Between 1960's through the 80's it wasn't actually increasing and was barely decreasing. Did the effort the Feminist Movement provide not go towards anything considering we still will not get equal pay until the year 2058?]]> 2017-04-26 12:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168349269 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168350155 In my opinion the successful part of the movement was mostly the Griswold v. Connecticut Supreme Court case because it provided more freedom toward married women when it came to contraceptives, even if it was only small progress and did not apply to women who weren't married. The part I found that I noticed was not that successful, at the time, was the part of the movement that was trying to get women equal wages to men. If you look at the graph that was posted, you can see why I found it unsuccessful. Even though the movement technically ended, it honestly still carries on to today. The movement is stronger than before and though it is made fun of at times on social medias, and some of the women do not use very effective methods, women still push through. Now even though we most likely have the same amount of problems, or more, than the problems with women's rights during the 60's, such as women having to wear makeup just to feel like they're enough to a man, all we can do is use positivity and try to stray away from violence.]]> 2017-04-26 12:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168350155 gillianb524 https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168381187 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/04/women-equality-national-monument/477828/
This Sewall-Belmont House and Museum monument is connected to the movement because the building itself stands for women's equality and how they fought for it, even if the first women's rights supporters to be in it was for the first wave of the movement towards the beginning of the 1900's. The house is the second monument to commemorate women's history, the first being the Harriet Tubman monument in Maryland. ]]> 2017-04-26 14:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gillianb524/t05o1rwt58aa/wish/168381187
