Question

Which of the following was a barrier to the second phase of the women’s movement?

The 19th amendment

Gender equality in the law

Cultural attitudes

Equality in the workplace

Answer 1

Cultural attitudes.

Explanation: The Second Wave (1960s–1980s) was stalled mainly by entrenched cultural expectations about gender roles and widespread sexism. The 19th Amendment and workplace equality were goals/achievements (and "gender equality in the law" would be desirable), not barriers — it was the prevailing cultural attitudes and resistance that blocked progress.
