Sexual revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The term "sexual revolution" has been used at least since the late 1920s….the first revolution was during the Roaring Twenties after World War I and it included writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edna Saint Vincent Millay, and Ernest Hemingway.
Female sexuality was accentuated, fashion become more liberal, divorce laws were liberalized in many states, and casual dating became more common.
Equal Rights Amendment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Following the 1920 ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women throughout the United States the unabridged right to vote, Alice Paul, a suffragist leader, argued that this right alone would not end discrimination based upon sex. Paul drafted the Equal Rights Amendment and, in 1923, presented it as the "Lucretia Mott Amendment".
In the 1970s, the House and Senate passed the amendment, and sent it to the states for ratification. The amendment failed to be approved by three-fourths of the states and so was never added.
