There are several reasons that feminism became a civil rights movement within the United States. The main reason was that women in the 1960s were tired of being treated as less than men in society. Another cause was the 1963 book, 'The Feminine Mystique' by Betty Friedan, which talked about the fact that many women were unhappy being housewives and homemakers.

Are young women today reluctant to identify themselves as feminists?

Yes, young women today are reluctant to identify as feminists - although with the rise of celebrity feminism this may change, however feminism was never supposed to be liked so many young women will still be reluctant to call themselves feminism for fear of not being liked. As well as feminists facing a lot of aggression, often feminism itself is difficult for people to get into because it involves learning new theories and unlearning old ways, feminists can be very critical of each other and unless you're willing to check your privileges it can be difficult to cope with...and people often write-off feminists as 'crazy' or call feminism radical and man-hating because they don't understand the way in which feminism talks or the theories used.
