Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics
to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made.
In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s, Susan B.
Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of
contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to
fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study. Many feminists
were interested in other social issues. The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. An important issue was
the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution. Although the ERA was
not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc. to
discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in early 20
th
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(11)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=11>
subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their
traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as
employment and pay.
Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for
instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the
Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs.
In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to
equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for
women need to be made. Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still
tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry.
In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s,
Susan B. Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the
means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth
Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater
opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues.
The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem
became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An
important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the
Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for
employers, schools, clubs, etc. To discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to advance
beyond a certain point in their careers, the co-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having
high-level jobs. Many women also face the problem of the second shift, I.e. the household chores.
In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the
remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men. Although there is
still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted.
