Women's Sexual Liberation Movements

Women's sexual liberation movements refer to a series of efforts, primarily in the 20th century, aimed at advocating for women's rights to express their sexuality freely and without stigma. These movements challenged societal norms around sex, reproduction, and gender roles, promoting access to contraception, reproductive rights, and sexual education. Key milestones include the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, which fought against sexual double standards and empowered women to take control of their bodies and desires. Ultimately, these movements sought to create a more equitable and open dialogue about female sexuality in society.
