Definition

  • The second wave of the American women's movement was an outgrowth of progressive organizing of the 1960s, including the civil rights, youth, and antiwar movements. Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique (1963), and other protofeminist texts (like those of women avant-garde filmmakers, including Maya Deren, Shirley Clarke, and Carolee Schneemann, all working in the 1950s and early 1960s), set the stage for this movement by beginning to articulate women's discontent, “a problem without a name.” Then, women who were radicalized and given a set of critical vocabularies through the 1960s protest movements began to add their critique of gender to shared movement concerns about personal freedom, social justice, and structures of domination.
