Three important achievements of the feminist movement in the 1970s include the passage of Title IX in 1972, which prohibited sex discrimination in education and increased women's participation in sports; the establishment of the Women’s Liberation Movement, which raised awareness and advocacy for women's rights; and the legalization of abortion in the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973. A notable failure of the movement during this time was the inability to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which sought to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex but ultimately fell short of ratification by the necessary states.
