The suffrage victory of 1920, which gave women the right to vote in the United States, led to a
long period of relative calm in the pursuit of full equality for women. It was not until the 1960s
that the feminist philosophy again gained both a significant group of spokeswomen and an
audience. In 1963 Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique observed that many collegeeducated
women did not use their training but remained in their homes resigned to being
housewives. In 1966 she organised the National Organisation for Women — NOW. NOW
agitated for such improvements as more child-care centres for professional women who wished
to return to work. NOW members lectured, lobbied in Congress and filed legal suits against sex
discrimination.
