Graded Assignment Moving Toward Change
(20 Points)

1. Think about the women and girls in the 1960s and 1970’s. What do you think they are telling their granddaughters about the changes they experienced? Then pretend you are a grandparent and write a letter to “your” future grandchild describing with evidence how the roles of women changed during the 1960s and 1970s and explain how those roles have continued to change since then. Your letter should be at least two paragraphs and include information/evidence from the 1960s through the present time. Remember to describe what life was like and what you hope it will be like for your granddaughter.

2. Use the textbook reading and the information from the 4.03 lesson that you discovered on the websites in the online activity as historical evidence to discuss the events of the second wave of the women’s movement in the following areas: education, work, family life, politics, or sports. The important historical evidence and information that you should explain/describe in your letter are primary sources, leaders, organiztions, or legislation, such as: the Feminine Mystic, NOW, Title IX, Roe Vs. Wade, EPA (equal pay act), Equal Rights Amendment; and some of the important historical context you should mention are baby boomers, 50’s housewives, civil rights movement, counterculture, or anti-war protests. It is not important to expound upon the historical context here, but to make sure the reader sees that you understand and expound upon the important changes women went through during the 1960s and 1970s. Consider interviewing an elder family member or family friend who might be able to share a perspective with you.

post the full question.

the years following the end of world war i were a period of deep social tensions, aggrevated by high wartime inflation. food prices more than doubled between 1915 and 1920; clothing costs more than tripled. a steel strike that began in chicago in 1919 became much more than a simple dispute between labor and management. the steel strike of 1919 became the focal point for profound social anxieties, especially fears of bolshevism.

organized labor had grown in strength during the course of the war. many unions won recognition and the 12-hour workday was abolished. an 8-hour days was instituted on war contract work and by 1919, half the country's workers had a 48-hour work week.

the war's end, however, was accompanied by labor turmoil, as labor demanded union recognition, shorter hours, and raises exceeding the inflation rate. over 4 million workers--one fifth of the nation's workforce--participated in strikes in 1919, including 365,000 steelworkers and 400,000 miners. the number of striking workers would not be matched until the depression year of 1937.

the year began with a general strike in seattle. police offers in boston went on strike, touching off several days of rioting and crime. but the most tumultuous strike took place in the steel industry. then some 350,000 steelworkers in 24 separate craft union went on strike as part of a drive by the american federation of labor to unionize the industry. from management's perspective, the steel strike represented the handiwork of radicals and professional labor agitators. the steel industry's leaders regarded the strike as a radical conspiracy to get the company to pay a 12-hour wage for eight hours' work. at a time when communists were seizing power in hungary and were staging a revolt in germany, and workers in italy were seizing factories, some industrialists feared that the steel strike was the first step toward overturning the industrial system.

the strike ended with the complete defeat of the unions. from labor's perspective, the corporations had triumphed through espionage, blacklists, and the denial of freedom of speech and assembly and through the complete unwillingness to recognize the right of collective bargaining with the workers' representatives.

during the 1920s, many of labor's gains during world war i and the progressive era were rolled back. membership in labor unions fell from 5 million to 3 million. the us supreme court outlawed picketing, overturned national child labor laws, and abolished minimum wage laws for women.
