QUESTION 29 Which of the following developments helped revitalize the women's movement in the early 1960 s? A. the postwar baby boom of the 1950s B. the debate over the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment C. creation of the President's Commission on the Status of Women D. adoption of the woman suffrage amendment

## Step 1<br />The question is asking us to identify which event or development helped revitalize the women's movement in the early 1960s. We need to evaluate each option and determine which one had a significant impact on the women's movement during this time period.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Option A, the postwar baby boom of the 1950s, is not likely to be the correct answer. This event occurred before the 1960s and is not directly related to the women's movement.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option B, the debate over the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, is also not the correct answer. Although this is a significant event in the women's rights movement, it until 1972, which is after the early 1960s.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option D, the adoption of the woman suffrage amendment, is not the correct answer either. This event occurred much earlier, in 1920, and is not related to the early 1960s.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option C, the creation of the President's Commission on the Status of Women, is the correct answer. This commission was established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. The commission's purpose was to investigate the status of women in the United States and to make recommendations for changes in federal policy. This event had a significant impact on the women's movement in the early 1960s.
