Women’s Liberation Movement: The Second Wave

Abstract

This paper examines some of the achievements and setbacks that the “second wave” of the Women’s Movement faced based on their organizational capacity. Women across the United States have the equality and opportunities that they have today because of the sacrifice of feminists during this period in time. However, due to a lack of cohesiveness during a majority of the “second wave,” feminists ended up being both a friend and a foe to feminism and their objectives.
