After feminists fought for years following the Civil Rights Movement for their own equality with men, Title IX granted them the ability to participate in educational programs without discrimination. This amendment suggested that the 1960s and 1970s were a time period of liberal triumph due to the victory in education of the women’s rights movement. This was a liberal triumph, as in the former, traditional system, women were usually poorly educated, as education was not a skill required for the stereotypical women’s housework.]]> 2018-04-24 20:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/janehuson1/yyet77x1rnhr/wish/255027325 https://padlet.com/janehuson1/yyet77x1rnhr/wish/255027333 Although the 1960s and 70s were characterized by the realization of political disputes regarding executive power and liberalism, the empowerment of the women's rights movement and the civil rights movement marked the 60s and 70s as a time of liberal triumph.]]> 2018-04-24 20:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/janehuson1/yyet77x1rnhr/wish/255027333 https://padlet.com/janehuson1/yyet77x1rnhr/wish/255027356 The image of a female reproductive rights protests shows the success of women's liberation movements by showing that they have a "right to choose" in conception(Document 7).

In the previous decades, after world war II, many war veterans were given educational opportunities under the GI bill, however, women were excluded from this narrative.

Almost 10 years after the passing of the Civil Rights Bill, title IX was added in response to the increasing popularity of the women's liberation movement. This title stated that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation... under any education program" (Doc 6). This was enacted in the early 1970s, following almost a decade of the Feminist movement, so the support of congress for this title shows that the feminist ideals that were being advocated for became a finite part of the U.S. law.
