As the Vietnam War escalated, it mobilized American youth and fueled growing protests that divided public opinion and increased unrest in the United States.

Under her leadership, the WCTU lobbied Congress and petitioned for laws promoting women's rights. Willard played an instrumental role in the passage of the 18th and 19th Amendments, prohibiting alcohol and granting women the right to vote. Her vision also expanded to include issues like education, workers' rights, and public health.
Amelia boynton robinson
Amelia Boynton Robinson was a leading civil rights activist born in 1911 in Georgia. She became involved in women's suffrage and was one of the few registered Black voters in Alabama in the 1930s. In the 1960s, Robinson helped lead the Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, including Bloody Sunday in 1965 where she was beaten unconscious while protesting for Black voting rights. She continued advocating for civil rights and human rights throughout her life.
Black women civil rights talk
Black women played a pivotal, yet often overlooked, role in the American civil rights movement. While male leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. received most of the attention, women like Ella Baker worked tirelessly behind the scenes to organize communities and mobilize support. Baker believed in group-centered leadership rather than depending on a single charismatic male leader. Other influential women activists mentioned include Septima Clark, who established citizenship schools to teach literacy and empowerment, and Fannie Lou Hamer, who fought for racial justice and challenged the male-dominated leadership of the civil rights movement.
Civil rights
Women played a crucial but overlooked role in the Civil Rights Movement. Historians have tended to focus on prominent male leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. while neglecting the contributions of women. However, women formed the backbone of the movement, organizing key protests and providing leadership. Figures like Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Diane Nash, and Pauli Murray all made significant contributions, though they often faced resistance from patriarchal and gender-conservative elements within the movement. New interpretations are bringing greater attention to the vital role played by women in shaping the Civil Rights Movement.
Waves of feminism
The first wave of feminism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on gaining basic legal rights for women like suffrage, property rights, and custody rights. It helped establish organizations that continued the fight for women's rights but was largely led by white women and excluded the perspectives of black women and other women of color. The successes of the first wave set the stage for the broader second wave from the 1960s-1980s that aimed to eliminate gender-based discrimination and challenges social and cultural attitudes towards women.

Women Protest Movement USA
The women's rights movement developed due to growing dissatisfaction among women with traditional gender roles following World War 2. During the war, many women had taken on jobs formerly restricted to men, giving them a taste of independence. However, postwar society encouraged women to return to being homemakers. Over time, factors like higher education rates, more women in the workforce, and new social movements empowered women to demand equal rights and challenge societal expectations. Influential figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Friedan played key roles in advocating for women's issues and establishing organizations like NOW to advance women's civil rights.
