History Moving Toward Change
- Think about the women who grew up in the 1960s.
What do you think they are telling their granddaughters about the
changes they experienced? Use the textbook and the information that
you discovered on the websites to review the events of the second
wave of the women’s movement in one of the following areas:
education, work, family life, politics, or
sports.
Then
write a letter to “your” granddaughter explaining how
the roles of women changed in that area during the 1960s and 1970s
and explain how those roles have continued to change since then.
Your
letter should be at least one page and include some information from
the 1960s through the present time. Consider
interviewing a family member or friend who might be able to share a
perspective with you. Remember to describe what life was
like and what you hope it will be
like for your granddaughter. This is a graded assignment.
