When did the women's rights movement begin?

There were actually two women's rights movements. One, called First Wave Feminism, began in 1848, when a group of women gathered for a conference at Seneca Falls NY; they wanted to work towards greater legal rights for women as well as gaining the vote (women's suffrage). The next women's rights movement, called Second Wave Feminism, began around 1963, with the publication of Betty Friedan's book "The Feminine Mystique" and continued with the founding of the National Organization for Women in 1966.
