Ending Workplace Discrimination, many feminist groups wanted to end discrimination in the workplace and they did this by getting laws passed that stated someone cannot be turned down for a job or make less for the same job because of gender. (Equal Pay Act 1963)
The final goal for feminists is the right to decide if abortion should be an option or not for women, this topic is still a point of major controversy today.
