Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second wave of feminism in the U.S. was indeed inspired in part by the publication of Kate Millett's book, Sexual Politics, in 1970. Choice A is incorrect because there was a feminist movement in the U.S. well before the 1980s - the first wave of feminism began in the mid-19th century. Choice C is also incorrect because modern feminist theory encompasses a range of perspectives, not just interactionism. Choice D is incorrect because Friedrich Engels argued that industrialization led to the oppression of women, not that it benefited them.
