The New Wave of Feminism
• Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, credited as having begun second-wave
feminism, disputed the post-World War II expectation of women as suburban
housewives.
• Following legislative victories in the early 1960s, Friedan joined with others to
create the National Organization for Women, which spurred further legal victories
that extended full Affirmative Action rights to women.
• Second-Wave Feminism also saw the merging of all-men and all-women's

evolved to focus on abortion, public funding, and insurance coverage.

Connecticut in 1965, while the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 legalized abortion
during the first trimester of pregnancy.

1960s and was endorsed and distributed by doctors as part of President

Native American Rights
• Focused on unemployment, slum housing, and racism, the Native American civil
rights movement grew during the 1960s.
• The Native American rights movement prioritized demands to have the U.S.
government honor treaty obligations it made with various sovereign Native
American nations.

for equal education for American Indian schools, which were afflicted with racism
and insufficient funds.

• American Indian Movement activists marched across the country in 1972, known
as the "Trail of Broken Treaties," and took over the Bureau of Indian Affairs to
protest the U.S. government's failure to address past treaty responsibilities to
various Indian nations.
• The American Indian Movement also led a spiritual walk to Washington, D.C. to
draw attention to anti-Indian legislation, leading Congress to pass the American
Indian Religious Freedom Act and eventually passage of the Indian Civil Rights
Act, which guaranteed civil rights and equal protection.

Latino Rights
• The term Chicano was originally used as a derogatory label for the sons and
daughters of Mexican migrants.
• Activists embraced a nationalism that identified the failure of the United States
government to live up to its promises.For them, Mexican-Americans were a
conquered people who simply needed to reclaim their birthright and cultural
heritage as part of a new nation: known as Aztlan.
• The Chicano Movement encompassed a broad cross section of issues: from
restoration of land grants, to enhanced education, voting and political rights, as
well as emerging awareness of collective history.Socially, it addressed what it
perceived to be negative ethnic stereotypes of Mexicans.

across the U.S.

Gay and Lesbian Rights
• Gay and Lesbian Rights movements developed in the post-World War II years,
seeking social acceptance and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) people.
• The post-war "homophile" movement were seen as radical at the time and largely
ignored until the growth of homophile organizations formed in the 1950s.

lesbian rights, were formed to provide leadership and educate gay communities
while urging assimilation into general society.
• The Stonewall Riots of 1969 were a series of violent demonstrations against
police following an early morning raid on the Stonewall Inn, which openly

welcomed gay people and catered to the most marginalized people in the
community.
• The early homophile movement differed from the gay rights movement of the
1960s, in that the former focused on non-confrontation and assimilation while the
later took a more radical approach and sought public acceptance.
• Lesbian feminism emerged from the gay liberation movement of the 1960s in
response to frustration over the domination of the movement by men, advocating
lesbianism as the logical result of feminism.

individuals to protect natural resources, particularly by conservationist John Muir,

Park.

population control, and opposition to the exploitation of natural resources.
