Not the End...

June 10, 1963, Congress passed the Equal Pay Act which made it illegal for employers to pay a woman less than what a man would receive for the same job. Over the next years, no subject is left untouched. From divorce to equal property distribution to abortion, many campaigns were launched to heed light on these issues. 

 

In 1964, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibited discrimination in employment on the basis of sex, race, religion, and national origin.Simultaneously, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was established to review complaints and impose penalties/punishments to those who did not comply with the law.

In 1966, The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded by a group of feminists including Betty Friedan. She was the author of the best-selling and influential book The Feminine Mystique.

 

The largest women's rights group in the U.S., NOW seeks to end sexual discrimination by means of legislative lobbying, litigation, and public demonstrations.
