- 5. ANGER AND REALIZATION AS EMPOWERMENT In approximately 1966, women across the United States began scrutinizing their circumstances more closely. Building upon the groundwork laid by the first wave of the feminist movement, they experienced an awakening. Women started challenging the dominant narrative shaped by men, uncovering hidden struggles, including those faced by women of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and the battle for establishing Roe vs. Wade.
- 6. IDENTITY AND SELF EXPRESSION Many Organizations had their commencement at this period in time. The national Organization for women was established in 1966. Their goal was to promote women's equality in all aspects of life. The women's liberation movement. Which was more of a grassroots movement consisting of various groups banning together. Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell (W.I.T.C.H.)A radical group that organized theatrical protest raising awareness Founded in 1973, NBFO aimed to address the unique struggles faced by Black women and promote solidarity within the feminist movement
- 7. SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ACTIVISM In 1968 women organized the Miss America protest in Atlantic city. The objective was to bring to light • The current standards that were imposed on women. • To outline that Awards, and contests were based on Shallowness • And the objectification of women During this time feminist activist lobbied to make changes for reproductive rights. The work they did laid the groundwork for landmark victories like Roe vs Wade in 1973. Many changes of the era where heavily influenced, and aided by feminist activist such as • The Equal Pay Act of 1963 – was enforced by feminist • The Civil Rights Act of 1964- Feminist utilized this legislature to fight work discrimination • Roe v. Wade in 1973- the U.S Supreme Court legalized abortion Nationwide.
- 8. HEALING AND EMPATHY The film gives snap shots of leaders in the 1960s and how they viewed themselves as they fought for reproductive rights, childcare, equal pay, sexual liberation, and to change the culture of how women were sexually objectified. We stand on a Pendulum that is ever swinging by the tides of culture we must look to our leaders and see where they push this Pendulum, and the question arises have we regressed, or have we advanced?
- 9. QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS? • What is the Current state of the Feminist movement? • How has Activism shifted in modern times considering the trends that influenced the overturning of Roe v. Wade?
