Successes: Equal Pay Act (1963) Title IX (1972) – banned gender discrimination in education Roe v. Wade (1973) – legalized abortion nationwide Greater access to contraception Increased presence of women in politics and workplaces Failures: Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) failed to be ratified Gender wage gap persisted Backlash against feminism (rise of conservative movements opposing reforms) Limited intersectionality (women of color and LGBTQ+ issues often sidelined)

Women Rights in now

More legal rights and protections: Women hold more leadership positions in politics, business, and education. Persistent gender inequalities: Pay gap, workplace discrimination, and unpaid labor (care work). Reproductive rights under threat: The overturning of Roe v. Wade (2022) has led to restrictive abortion laws in several U.S. states. Intersectionality focus: Greater awareness of how race, class, and sexuality intersect with gender issues. Rise of feminist activism online: Digital movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp have brought attention to gender-based violence and workplace harassment.
