1. What were the main sources of feminism’s revival in the late 1960s and early 1970s? How did this differ from the “Third Wave” of feminism in the 1990s?

The main sources of feminism’s revival in the late 1960s and early 1970s were the help of the black women and the sexual liberation with the introduction of the birth control pill. The idea was that if women of different races were united, they would have better chances to fight and make a difference. The introduction of the birth control pill would also help the revival. That means that the new generation of women was more sexually-active women and had different lifestyle from the women in 1950s. This wave differed from the Third Wave” of feminism in the 1990s because it was to unite women in groups.
