Cevap
The growth of a women's rights movement aimed at securing economic and social equality
The correct answer is correct because the National Organization for Women (NOW), established in 1966, was the premier organization of the second-wave feminist movement. Its goals of securing legal and economic equality, eliminating job discrimination, and promoting partnership with men directly align with the broader growth of the women's rights movement during the 1960s and 1970s.
