The second wave feminism which spans from the early 1960 to the late 1980 came with a feeling of unfinished business left in the year. Unlike the first-wave, the second-wave focused on de factor in equalities and it was also felt that de jure and defacto in equalities were inextricably linked issues that needed to be addressed together. This wave encouraged women to understand aspects of their personal life as deeply politicised and reflective of a sexist structure of power.
There were several major moments during this wave such as the publication of The Faminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, formation of the national organization of women ( now ), and the rise of radical feminism during the 1970. There were also some key players in this wave such as Bella Abjug, Lorraine Bethel, Ann Simontom.
