second-wave feminism (uncountable)

  1. A period of feminist activity that began in the early 1960s in the United States and broadened the gender equality debate to include family, the workplace, reproductive rights, etc.
    • 2022 June 17, Michelle Goldberg, “The Future Isn’t Female Anymore”, in The New York Times[1]:
      Obviously, the second-wave feminism of the ’60s and ’70s could be pretty factional as well; there were vicious internal fights over issues like lesbianism and pornography, as well as over white feminists’ blind spots about race.
