In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debatewhen the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demandequal 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 Actaimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs. In the same year the EqualOpportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish researchand statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made. Women now have muchbetter employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few areappointed 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 contraceptionso that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chanceto become doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in othersocial issues. The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem becameassociated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An important issue was theEqual Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution. Although the ERA was notpassed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc. to discriminateagainst women. But women still find it hard to advance beyond certain point in their careers, the so-called glassceiling 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 remainingproblems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men. Although there is still discrimination, theprinciple that it should not exist is widely accepted. Question 22.It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, ______.A.
