Activism in the Women’s Liberation Movement

Activists like Gloria Steinem were among the leaders of the Women’s liberation movement during the period. She was able to rally like-minded feminist thinkers to band together in attempt to make a difference in the country. Rally’s were held across the nation, where women would protest discrimination in the government, their work, and their every day lives. Steinem cofounded the Nation Women’s Political Caucus in 1971. This was one of the many groups and organizations that came to exist during the second wave feminist movement. Other notable organizations were the groups for Women Against Pornography, the Coalition of Labor Union Women, and Voters for Choice.
