The second wave of feminism ended in the 1980s with the feminist sex wars, which was followed by the third wave of the feminist movement. Additional victories of the second wave of feminism were the
Equal Pay Act of 1963, the foundation of the National Organization for Women by Betty
Friedan in 1966, the Women’s Educational Equality Act in 1974, the Pregnancy
Discrimination Act in 1978, and the illegalization of marital rape. All of these victories of the second wave of the feminist movement were coupled with an increase of women in the workplace and a distinct societal change in attitudes towards women.
