Question

Which of the following describes a major victory by the women's rights movement during the early 1960s? A. State legislatures ratified the Equal Rights Amendmentproviding a constitutional guarantee of equality between male and female citizens . B. Congress extended legal protections against gender discrimination by incorporating women into the Civil Rights Act of 1964. National Organization of Women was recognized as the first all-female labor union and won equal pay guarantees from many large corporations . D. President Kennedy appointed the first female justice to the Supreme Court and promised to appoint at least one additional female justice

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It was during that debate that he introduced, on February 8, 1964, the sex amendment.  The amendment was a one-word addition, sex, to Title VII of the bill, which prohibited employers from discriminating on the basis of ace, color, religion, or national origin.

John F Kennedy only appointed two men to the supreme court.

The equal rights Amendment was in the 1970's and not all states have ratified it.

This was a super confusing question because of how vague the answer choices were. I mean yes women were eventually included in the civil rights act, but it didn't protect women in education. And the wage gap still existed after the equal pay guarantees.
