The
National Organization for Women (NOW), was organized
by women to promote equal rights for all women.
On May 7, 1969, a group of 100 women, sponsored
by NOW, demonstrated in Washington, D.C. outside
the White House. The group was demonstrating in
support of the "Freedom for Women Week." The organization
also furthered their efforts by meeting with Member
of Congress and representatives of Government
agencies. NOW continued to demonstrate for their
cause through the mid 1970's and grew to have
organizations in most states.
