The document discusses the history and goals of the second wave feminist movement. It outlines key events from the first wave such as women gaining the right to vote in 1920. The second wave was sparked by reports on the status of women in 1963 and books like "The Feminine Mystique." Its goals included overcoming conservative views of women's roles and fighting for equal rights in areas like employment, reproductive rights, and maternity leave. Important milestones included laws passed in the 1960s-1970s regarding equal pay, civil rights, the establishment of NOW, and legalization of birth control pills. Critics argued the movement did not address the needs of all women and risked fragmentation.
