A significant American movement to me would be the feminist movement in the 1960s. It focused on the goal to end gender discrimination of salary inequality in the workplace. Women were tired of getting treated less by men so they took a stand. They took it up with their employer because it is a common thing that women were sexually harassed by men and there weren’t any rules protecting them. Even at home, women were expected to tend to men’s commands. They were supposed to have food ready, the house cleaned, and the children taken care of. The part of history is the Second-wave feminism that is intended to change social and cultural inequalities. Women were also tired of having to wear clothings that restricted them from freely expressing themselves.
