Changes

In the 1970s, the second wave feminist movement expanded and continued to gain momentum. Carol Hanisch published an essay in 1970 titled "The Personal is Political.” Hanisch argued that everything was political, including the division of household labor, gender roles, and other day-to-day activities. If a women decided to have an abortion and get a job as a woman in a male -dominated industry, then that decision has political consequences and became politicized in society. Women had to bring their private, household problems into the public sphere because issues were politicized and had consequence far outside of an individual. <ref>Lee, Theresa Man Ling.
