The women’s movement of the 1960s began as part of a broader social revolution, fueled by the civil rights movement and a growing discontent with traditional gender roles. Key events, such as the publication of Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" in 1963, sparked widespread awareness of women's issues, particularly around workplace inequality and domestic dissatisfaction. This period saw the formation of organizations like the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966, advocating for equal rights and opportunities for women. The movement mobilized women across diverse backgrounds, challenging societal norms and seeking legal reforms.
Indigenous women in Canada gained the right to vote in federal elections in 1960, following a long struggle for recognition and rights. In the United States, Native American women were granted the right to vote in federal elections with the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, but many states found ways to keep them from voting until the 1950s and 1960s. The timeline varied across different countries and regions, reflecting the complex history of Indigenous rights.
