Womens Movement
The women's movement sought to address and rectify various forms of discrimination and inequality faced by women in different spheres of life. Legislative milestones such as the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Higher Education Act of 1972, which included Title IX, played pivotal roles in prohibiting gender-based discrimination in credit and education, respectively.
