My specific topic for the historical investigation was the Women's Strike for Equality. I mainly picked this topic because I thought it was interesting to see Woman create a strike just for their rights and I wanted to learn more about the topic itself. Some basic facts about the strike is that it happened on August 26th 1970, and was mainly under the person; Betty Friedan. Betty Friedan was a major feminist, and had created the strike to help create the significance of women's rights within the United States. The strike itself had created women to come together, and they were all from many different races. The strike did not completely end women's inequality but it did help spread the message across the states. The main importance behind the strike is that doing this strike was a huge risk and doing it may have caused several complications with the government and such, but Betty Friedan and others did not give up and made sure to make this strike happen. It was important for this strike to happen because Women were not getting job opportunities and equality just in general. Overall, the women's strike for equality was a big step in helping women get their freedom.
