In terms of American history the movement linked with the second wave of feminism was the civil rights movement and later the anti-war movement.
It started around 1963.
Betty Friedan.
The first wave of feminism was caused by women seeking the right to vote. The second wave of feminism was caused by women seeking the right to equality in employment, education and aspirations. They also sought the right to reproductive freedom.
The main "goal" of the Second Wave was reproductive rights. We can see this in the large fight surrounding Roe V. Wade.
First wave feminism lasted from the 1840s until the 1920s. It was largely started by the the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, and was focused for the most part on getting women the vote. With the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, the movement lost momentum, and floundered until the advent of second wave feminism in the 1960s. Second feminism dealt with equality in job opportunity and pay, and was motivated by the discontent many women felt after having been pushed out of the workforce and back into the home after men returned from the Second World War. Second wave feminism also dealt with reproductive rights, and saw victory with the outcome of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Second Wave feminism continued until the 1980s, and then evolved into third wave feminism that continued to fight for issues like reproductive rights and employment issues, but also sought to reconcile itself with women who had largely been ignored in first and second wave feminism, which were largely middle-class white women's movements. Third wave feminism began working to solve issues faced by women of color, queer women, women with disabilities, working class women, and to include them in the larger feminist movement.

Oh, dude, second wave feminism was like, "Hey, let's shake things up a bit!" It brought about changes like more women entering the workforce, fighting for reproductive rights, and challenging gender norms. So yeah, it was kind of a big deal.
