The+Women's+Movement-Marlee+McHugh

In the 1960's-1970's women had it rough, they did the exact same jobs as men , worked just as hard as the men did , but only earned 63 percent of what the men did. Finally the women got extremely tired of only getting paied alittle over half of what the men did when they put the exact same time and effort in to whatever job they had. So some 28 professional women, including Betty Friedan , who wrote //The Feminine Mystique ,// made up National Organization for Women. After about a year there was over 1000 women sighned up to NOW, but that quickly changed into 15000. Women were trying so hard, making petitions , sighns , and protesting. But they needed ratification of an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). But only 35 of the needed 38 states ratified it. And in the late 1970's NOW was finally donet trying and broke apart. But later on in history Women get more and more rights, but not even now do the women get the same amont of respect and get treated the same , or get equal pay as the men do.
