Since the Stonewall riot, the LGBTQ+ movement has fought to dismantle gender and sexual norms. Although not always embraced by feminists, the LGBTQ+ movement gradually worked to dismantle the patriarchy through modern US history. In 2013, Edith Windsor sued the US because she was taxed upon inheriting her deceased wife’s estate. Although legal, LGBTQ+ rights and humanity remain threatened by the far right.

Following the Civil Rights Movement, women were inspired to fight for equality and opportunity in society. As a result, many social movements arose in different communities which combatted sexism and sparked the rise of the women's liberation movement.

Reproductive Freedom, or the rights to control your reproduction, came under attack by laws in the late 19th century. As soon as women gained political freedoms, they began attacking these restrictions in the 20th century, with advocacy efforts peaking in the 1960s. Rights to privacy, rights to contraception (birth control), and rights to abortion were all focal points for women and their allies.
Trigger warning: this section discusses rape and abortion.

Women were pivotal in many aspects throughout the Cold War. They were soldiers, pilots, code breakers, nurses, and more. They supported the Cold War either on the front lines or from home. Of course not every woman supported war; in the Vietnam war many found themselves sympathetic with the Vietnamese women. Towards the end of the Cold War women found their social positions constantly changing, but sexism routinely held them back.

The bold actions and sacrifices made by many women involved with the Civil Right Movement are frequently overlooked or overshadowed by the contributions of their male counterparts. The pivotal impacts made by notable women like Rosa Parks and JoAnn Robinson were credited to the achievements by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. Female civil rights activists were subjected to unlawful detainment, assault, torture, and murder. These heroic women, and their stories, generated momentum for the cause, often with little to no acknowledgement.

After World War II, women returned home, or at least that’s what society hoped. The reality was a bit more complicated than that. The 1950s is remembered as the good old days, when gender roles were clear, families were united, and everything was “normal.” But to what extent was that true? And at whose expense was this normalcy achieved?

Women in World War II, again, entered new fields. They became members of the military, and even faced combat. Took over their families, became correspondents, spies, and code breakers. The war created a time for women to branch out but still many struggled financially or were prevented, from things such as racism, to grow.

The Great Depression brought a new era of economic reform headed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although these reforms mainly helped men who were dispositioned, leaving women to fight for themselves. Women entered new job forces and faced struggles men didn't have. They were expected to maintain their houses and families but also work in offices, while also not taking away from a man's chance to provide for his family.

The period between 1919 and the Stock Market Crash of 1929 “roared.” Who roared and why gives us some interesting things to examine in this episode. The term “Roaring Twenties” brings to mind cultural rebellion, frivolity, and assertions of independence, especially for women. From working girls in growing cities to flappers, Miss America, the Harlem Renaissance, and women athletes, the decade was exciting. But the 1920s began with profound conservatism and ended with the collapse of the American economy.
