Whereas [[first-wave feminism]] focused mainly on [[Women's suffrage|suffrage]] and overturning legal obstacles to [[gender equality]] (''e.g.'', [[Women's suffrage in the United States|voting rights]] and [[property rights]]), second-wave feminism broadened the debate to include a wider range of issues: sexuality, family, domesticity, the workplace, [[reproductive rights]], ''de facto'' inequalities, and official legal inequalities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/647122/womens-movement |title=women's movement (political and social movement) |website=Britannica Online Encyclopedia |access-date=July 20, 2012}}</ref> It was a movement that was focused on critiquing the patriarchal, or male-dominated, institutions and cultural practices throughout society.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Pierceson, Jason, 1972-|title=Sexual minorities and politics : an introduction|year=2016|isbn=978-1-4422-2768-2|location=Lanham, Maryland|oclc=913610005}}</ref> Second-wave feminism also drew attention to the issues of [[domestic violence]] and [[marital rape]], created [[Rape crisis center|rape-crisis centers]] and [[women's shelter]]s, and brought about changes in custody laws and divorce law. Feminist-owned [[Feminist bookstore|bookstores]], credit unions, and restaurants were among the key meeting spaces and economic engines of the movement.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UjEtDwAAQBAJ&q=head+shops&pg=PT146|title=From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs|last=Davis|first=Joshua Clark|date=August 8, 2017|publisher=Columbia University Press|isbn=9780231543088|pages=129–175}}</ref>
Missing from the typical narrative told about Second-wave feminism is the experiences of black and other women of color as well as women in the working class as the movement is typically centered around the sexism encountered by white middle, upper class women. It also centered feminism around the United States and also neglected the works of white anti-racist feminism. While the term "[[intersectionality]]" was not coined until 1989 by [[Kimberlé Crenshaw]] after the end of the second wave, women of color were writing, and creating feminist political activist groups throughout the entire movement and especially in the 1970s.<ref>{{Citation |last=Thompson |first=Becky |title=2.

The use of difference is something that was explored towards the end of the second wave feminism movement since the voices of white feminists dominated the narrative. The ideals of [[Liberal feminism]] worked towards women’s equality with that of men because women and men have the same intrinsic capabilities and that society has socialized certain skills out.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Evans |first=Judith |title=Feminist Theory Today: An Introduction to Second-Wave Feminism |publisher=Sage Publications |year=1995 |isbn=13 978-0-8039-8478-3 |location=London |pages=13 |language=English}}</ref> This elimination of difference works to erase sexism by working within a pre existing system of oppression rather than challenging the system itself. Working towards equality preserves a system by giving everyone the same opportunities regardless of their privilege whereas the framework of equity would address problems in society and find solutions to target the problem at hand.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Juda |first=Edyta |date=2020-11-05 |title=Equity vs. Equality: What's the Difference? |url=https://onlinepublichealth.gwu.edu/resources/equity-vs-equality/ |access-date=2023-05-18 |website=GW-UMT |language=en-US}}</ref>
