Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique in 1963, which criticized traditional roles for women and resonated with millions of female readers. This helped spark the modern feminist movement in the United States. In the 1960s, over 30 million women made up over one-third of the American workforce, yet faced widespread gender discrimination. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act aimed to address this by prohibiting pay discrimination and sex-based employment discrimination. New organizations like the National Organization for Women advocated for legal and social equality for women, while figures like Gloria Steinem and Shirley Chisholm played influential roles in the growing women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
