 The role of women as full-time homemakers in industrial society was challenged in 1963, when US feminist Betty Friedan published "The Feminine Mystique", giving momentum to the women's movement and influencing what many called Second-wave feminism.Other activists, such as Gloria Steinem and Angela Davis, either organized, influenced, or educated many of a younger generation of women to endorse and expand feminist thought.Feminism gained further currency within the protest movements of the late 1960s, as women in movements such as Students for a Democratic Society rebelled against the "support" role they had been consigned to within the male-dominated New Left, as well as against manifestations and statements of sexism within some radical groups.
