There should be a section on the International Women's Year. There should most definitely be a section on the different topics of second wave feminism such as women's health, women in sports, women in politics, and sexuality.

To Second Wave Feminism:
The 1977 National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas presented an opportunity for women's liberation groups to address a multitude of women's issues. At the conference, delegates from around the country gathered to create a National Plan of Action, which offered 26 planks on matters such as women's health, women's employment, and child care.

First, I will provide information on the ways in which the conservative women's movement came about and who started the movement. Then I will provide information on the accomplishments of movement.

Conservative Women's Movement - Week 6
The Conservative Women's Movement was a 1970s and 1980s movement aimed at preserving American traditionalism and values. Leaders of the movement aimed to maintain the American nuclear family and women's roles within the household.

The movement came about in opposition to the Women's Rights Movement of the 1970s. The movement addressed issues such as contraception, abortion, women's equal rights, and gay and lesbian rights.

History
The Conservative Women's Movement arose in the 1970s as a means to counter the liberal Women's Rights Movement and feminism. In 1972, as Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment and sent it out for state ratification, many conservative housewives around the United States gathered to address the dangers of the ERA. These women feared the effects that would arise as a result of the ERA. Their concerns included, but were not limited to, women's war drafts and women's workforce labor.

Activists used grassroots organizing and front porch politics to address these concerns. Conservative women gathered to write letters to Congressional leaders about the dangerous effects of the ERA. In some states, conservative women fought to protest ratification in their states. In states where the ERA was already ratified, conservative women appealed to state legislatures to repeal the amendment. In the end, Texas was the only state in the South that did not repeal the amendment once it was ratified.

Again in 1977, when American women united for the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, conservative women gathered in the Astro Arena to host the Pro-Family, Pro-Life Rally. In addition to conservative women, men and children showed up to the event. These women were angered by the lack of inclusion of conservative women in the National Women's Movement. Noting that conservative women were American women too, they were angered that they had been left out of the discussion.
