Suppose you were an advocate of the women's movement during the 1970s. What would be your major grievances and what groups and leaders might you support in pursuing your cause?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Supporters of the feminist movement would probably resent what she or he considered sexual exploitation and discrimination in terms of economic opportunities and pay. They would probably admire such women as Betty Friedan, Helen Reddy, Gloria Steinem, and/or other militant authors. They probably would support the National Organization for Women and ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, and they would probably sing some of Helen Reddy's songs and read Steinem's Ms. Magazine.
