In 1975, the International Women’s Year was declared by the United Nations, marking a significant year for the global women’s rights movement. Key events included the World Conference on Women in Mexico City, where three main objectives were identified: full gender equality, women’s full participation in development, and women’s increased contribution to world peace. Additionally, the Supreme Court ruled against denying women jury service in Taylor v. Louisiana, and Susan Brownmiller’s book.
“Against Our Will,” raised awareness about the issue of rape and sexual violence.
