What challenges did women face in the 1990s?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: By the 1990s, many women were most concerned with their economic position. Students should be able to describe the challenges that women faced in the workplace, including sexual harassment and the glass ceiling. Also, students may point out growing pressure from anti-abortion groups to limit women's access to abortions. Good students will further describe the challenges many women faced in trying to balance a career and family and how they sought to make the workplace more parent-friendly.
