The second wave of the women's movement began in earnest in the 1960s. The movement was comprised of three campaigns: liberal feminists, radical feminists and conservative feminists. Liberal feminists battled for socioeconomic equality, radical feminists encouraged a revolution that would upset the social hierarchy and conservatives stressed personal accomplishments and maintaining the status quo. Eventually, these groups clashed over the Equal Rights Amendment in the early 1970s. With a large conservative and anti-feminist outcry, the legislation was defeated and replaced with a case-by-case program. More opportunities for women begin to emerge in education and slowly in the workplace and politics.
