Political rights for women?

I'm a bit confused after reading the article what political rights for women were being advocated for? I see no other mentioned except female jury participation (which I think also needs a citation). Are there any others? A mention of some of these (if there are any) would surely improve the clarity of the issues discussed within the article. Alialiac (talk) 00:04, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - this article is still pretty sketchy. Such an important piece of history should be better documented and explained.

At least readers can link their way to second wave feminism now and fill in the gaps. Billyshiverstick (talk) 02:38, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

a) Men editing Articles on Feminism b) the so called "Mother of Feminism"?

Hi all, I've gone over this article pretty heavily, and as a man, I am treading carefully. Just FYI, I am a strong supporter of Feminism, and pretty well educated. I'm not dissing the general content, just trying to help the ideas stay clear.

I do really object to the phrase "Mother of Feminism" for Betty Friedan. Feminism was strong before Betty was born, and is the love-child of many, many women. Trying to claim one "mother" will only create division. I personally think The Feminine Mystique had a huge impact, it was perhaps the most important feminist book of the century, but the title "Mother of Feminism" is just from one newspaper article, and the phrase as applied to Betty, (or anyone), is not in common use.
