History

Historical Context

The Women's Rights Movement gained traction in the early 1960s, notably with Betty Friedan's 1963 book, "The Feminine Mystique," which criticized traditional gender roles. This spurred the formation of the National Organization for Women (NOW) to advocate for women's equality. Today, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's critique of GOP leadership highlights ongoing challenges for female representation in politics, reflecting historical struggles for women's voices in governance.
