Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater 
opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues. 
The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem 
became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An 
important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the 
Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal 
for employers, schools, clubs, etc. to discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to 
advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from 
having high-level jobs. Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e. the household 
chores. 
In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the 
remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men. Although there 
is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted.
