The feminist movement of the 20th century had a significant impact on societal attitudes towards gender equality. The movement sought to challenge traditional gender roles and promote equal rights for women. This led to the passage of laws such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which helped to ensure that women had equal access to education and employment opportunities. Additionally, the movement raised awareness of issues such as sexual harassment, domestic violence, and reproductive rights, which helped to shift public opinion towards greater gender equality.
