A PhD thesis was presented at the College of Education for Girls, entitled "Feminist Movements in the United States of America from 1960 to 1990."
The thesis, presented by student Yusra Imad Muhammad Saeed Al-Taha, aims to study the development of American feminist movements from 1960 to 1990 and their impact on legislation and society.
The thesis covered the second wave of the feminist movement, its most prominent leaders, ideas, and laws supporting equality, the role of the media and organizations, and the challenges and internal divisions.
The thesis concluded that feminist movements have achieved significant legislative and societal achievements despite resistance from conservative forces and intellectual divisions. It also examined comparative feminist experiences in spreading awareness of women's rights in the Arab world and supporting historical and social research on women's issues.
