Rita Deutsch, Associate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, speaks about feminism in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the 1960s. She describes famous feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Patricia Ireland and the many issues including suffrage (the right to vote) and other rights, such as equal pay for equal work, fair work conditions, and rights for working mothers. Deutsch describes two branches of feminism - one which was more conservative and sought equality for women, and the women's liberation movement, which was more radical.
