This question is asking for information about the women's liberation movement in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. <br /><br />1. The traditional role of women in society was primarily as homemakers and caregivers. They were expected to manage the household and raise children, while men were the breadwinners.<br /><br />2. Betty Friedan was a feminist, activist, and writer. She is best known for her book "The Feminine Mystique," which is credited with sparking the second wave of feminism in the United States.<br /><br />3. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was important to the women's movement because it was one of the leading feminist organizations in the United States. It advocated for equal rights for women and played a significant role in the fight for gender equality.<br /><br />4. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It was not ratified to become part of the Constitution because it was not approved by enough states before the deadline.<br /><br />5. The ERA would have affected education by ensuring that equal rights under the law could not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. This would have had a significant impact on education, as it would have required equal opportunities for both sexes in educational institutions.
