Question

before the national organization for women was founded, efforts to gain equal rights for women resulted in
the ratification of the equal rights amendment.
fairer educational funding for men and women.
few changes by either the government or employers.
a surprising reduction of women in the workforce.

Explanation:

The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in 1966. Prior to this, early second-wave feminist efforts had not achieved widespread, impactful changes from the government or employers. The Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified, fair educational funding was not a major pre-NOW outcome, and women's workforce participation was growing, not declining, in this era.

Answer:

C. few changes by either the government or employers.
