The social movement aimed at addressing issues of gender inequality during the 1960s was the Women's Liberation Movement. Emerging in the context of broader civil rights movements, this movement sought to challenge societal norms surrounding gender roles, advocate for women's rights, and strive for equality in various spheres, including employment, education, and reproductive rights. Key figures, publications, and grassroots organizations played vital roles in raising awareness and enacting change. The movement significantly impacted legislation such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title IX in 1972, which aimed to reduce gender discrimination.
