FEMINISM: A GENERATION LATER

THE AUTHOR REPORTS ON INVESTIGATIONS BY POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS THAT REVEAL SOME OF THE CHANGES IN PUBLIC OPINION, GENDER CONSCIOUSNESS, AND GENDER IDEOLOGY THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT. ALTHOUGH THERE IS MORE GENERAL ACCEPTANCE OF EQUALITY BETWEEN THE SEXES, EVEN YOUNG PEOPLE STILL SHOW SOME ADHERENCE TO TRADITIONAL DIVISIONS OF ROLES AND TRADITIONAL GENDER IDEOLOGY STILL PLAYS A PART IN MAINTAINING INEQUALITY. NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS WIDESPREAD SUPPORT FOR A WOMEN'S MOVEMENT, ESPECIALLY AMONG WOMEN.
