Source Analysis of Women's Liberation Movement

Source A: 'Women’s Rights Are Human Rights' Speech

"Throughout history, women have been denied basic rights and opportunities simply because of their gender. The fight for equality is not just about legal rights but also about changing societal attitudes. We demand equal pay, access to education, and freedom from discrimination. Our movement seeks to empower women to take control of their lives and challenge traditional roles that confine us. It is time for society to recognize that women's liberation benefits everyone, not just women." Provenance: Gloria Steinem, 1971, speech at a women's rights rally.
