Answer:

Women's rights

Explanation:

In the 1970's the liberal citizens and feminists of the United States started demanding about more rights for women politically as well as socially. An amendment , "Equal Rights Amendment was approved by the congress and liberals hoped it would pass with ease in the senate. But conservatives felt it was an attack on the traditional and orthodox gender roles and they viciously tried to stop it and ultimately were successful in defeating it. This led feminists to leave the politics and focus on activism more.
