The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in 1966 by a group of prominent women activists, including Betty Friedan, who is often credited as a leading figure. Other key founders included Pauli Murray, Shirley Chisholm, and Betty Friedan herself, who sought to address issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and workplace discrimination. Their collective efforts aimed to advocate for women's rights and ensure that women had equal opportunities in all aspects of society. NOW played a crucial role in the feminist movement, pushing for legislative changes and social reforms.
