From the Paper:

"One of the most important things to come of the 1960's
was the explosion known as the women's movement. Until the 1960's, women had quietly put up with having their work treated as less important than a man's work, being paid less money for the same work that men were doing, and being treated as if they were less intelligent than their male counterparts(Evans, 1980). The 1960's changed all of that and changed it in the biggest leap in American history. The women of the nation discovered they not only had a voice and a right to use it, but they were actually quite adept at becoming political activists for the cause of sisterhood (Evans, 1980)."
