Reading the Feminine Mystique strangely helped me understand my mother. She was of the age that WWII although horrible allowed her as a woman the freedom she had not had before. And like most women suffered really badly with being sent back into the home. (Common in both Europe and the US so that men could get "their" jobs back.)
So not just the women as individuals but how society (government) can force through policies which negatively impact women (often because they dont even think about women). eg after lockdown and the increase in home working the probability that many women will lose out in terms of employment.
And have to say I didn't realise that the ERA was still waiting for final confirmation!
Why there is no mass movement is because feminism was co-opted by the mainstream and the media, and it became incredibly individualistic. The idea of going to a meeting and reaching consensus (briefly glimpsed in the bedroom scence when stoned Alice eavesdropped on a meeting that Gloria Steinem had come to the room to attend.
And also the rise of social media. Whereas before, particularly if you were stuck at home, and didn't have much privacy, it was something really important to go out and meet up with like minded women. The power of the movement was that it was based on a whole network of local women's groups. Not as the tv series implied a few well connected women making deals with dodgy politicians.
Pester power.
Too many women now think being on twitter is being political when in fact twitter is the least used social media platform and if anything is trapping women in a cul de sac that doesn't lead any where.
