Meanwhile, women’s issues were making their own headlines. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed, prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of sex, in addition to race, religion and national origin. As a result, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was established to investigate discrimination complaints—50,000 sex discrimination complaints were received during the Commission’s first five years, alone. In response to the Commission’s failure to sufficiently investigate these documented complaints, Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique, and her peers organized the National Organization for Women. More and more women soon went from homemakers to moneymakers—or both if they desired.
