The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which states that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex," was originally introduced to Congress in 1923 -- three years after women gained the right to vote -- but never reached the House or Senate floor.
ADVERTISING
The National Organization for Women, which was founded in 1966 and advocated for a "fully equal partnership of the sexes," soon endorsed the ERA and made passing it into the U.S. Constitution a top priority. (The amendment had been unsuccessfully presented to every session of Congress between 1923 and 1970.)
However, the ERA was just one part of what the new, "second-wave" feminists wanted to accomplish, as TIME's article "Who's Come a Long Way, Baby?" from August 31, 1970, points out:
"They want equal pay for equal work, and a chance at jobs traditionally reserved for men only. They seek nationwide abortion reform -- ideally, free abortions on demand. They desire round-the-clock, state-supported child-care centers in order to cut the apron strings that confine mothers to unpaid domestic servitude at home. The most radical feminists want far more. Their eschatological aim is to topple the patriarchal system in which men by birthright control all of society's levers of power -- in government, industry, education, science, the arts."
Answer:
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" this is the main thought after advocating gender equality in our society and there are many examples in front of us which help us in proving this. some of the examples before us in India from the time of Independence are: Savitribai Phule, Fatima Sheikh, Tarabai Shinde, and Ramabai Ranade etc who have helped in empowering Indian women . Although patriarchy is deeply entrenched in modern-day India, the country has a long tradition of women who resisted conformity, even under severe societal pressure.
Explanation:
Feminism is a movement which started a long time ago in all over the world where women fought for equal right with men. Feminism is one theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes, even though many feminist movements and ideologies differ on exactly which claims and strategies are vital and justifiable to achieve equality.
