Last night PBS had a 3 hour special on "MAKERS: WOMEN WHO MAKE AMERICA"

[RC]

The story of the birth of the modern Women’s Movement. When Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique came out in 1963, millions of American women felt the constraints of 1950s post-war culture, which confined them to the home or to low-paying, dead end jobs. At the same time, another group of women were emerging from the anti-war and civil rights movement determined to achieve their own revolution.

It is in 3 parts. You can watch all three segments here:

Part One: Awakening

This program is quite interesting and informative. There is also an in depth segment on why the Equal Rights Amendment failed.
The method used will be quite familiar, as they are being use on the rest of us today.
