The primary goal of the women's liberation movement in the 20th century was to achieve gender equality and women's rights across various sociopolitical spheres. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, the movement sought to address issues such as reproductive rights, workplace equality, and the elimination of discrimination and violence against women. Activists advocated for changes in laws, social norms, and cultural attitudes that oppressed women. The movement significantly influenced policies and public perceptions, leading to advancements in rights and opportunities for women, while also highlighting broader issues of intersectionality and diversity within the feminist agenda.
