The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote. In the 1960s feminism became the subject  of  intense  debate  when  the  women's  liberation  movement  encouraged  women  to  reject their  traditional  supporting  role  and  to  demand  equal  status  and  equal  rights  with  men  in  areas such as employment and pay.

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs. In the same year, the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made. Women  now  have  much better  employment  opportunities.  though  they  still  tend  to  get  less  well - paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry.

In the US, the movement that is often called the "first wave of feminism" began in the mid-1800s. Susan B. Anthony worked for the right to vote. Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means  of  contraception  so  that  they  could  decide  whether  or  not  to  have  children,  and Elizabeth Blackwell,  who  had  to  fight  for  the  chance  to  become  a  doctor,  wanted  women  to  have  greater opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues.

The  second  wave  of  feminism  began  in  1960s.  Women  like Betty  Friedan

and Gloria  Steinem became  associated  with  the  right  to get  equal rights  and  opportunities  for  women  under  the  law. An  important  issue  was  the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA),  which  was  intended  to  change  the Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for  employers,  schools,  clubs,  etc.  to  discriminate  against  women.  But  women  still  find  it  hard  to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the co-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having  high-level  jobs.  Many  women  also  face  the  problem  of  the  second  shift,  i.e.  the  household chores.

In  1980s,  feminism  became  less  popular  in  the  US  and  there  was  less  interest  in  solving  the remaining  problems,  such  as  the  fact  that  most  women  still  earn  much  less  than  men.  Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.

Langston Hughes was  one  of  the  greatest  American  writers  of  the  20th century.  He  was  born  in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of 14. Several years later, he spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a few years after that, he roamed the world  as  a  seaman,  visiting  ports  around  the  world  and  writing  some  poetry.  He  returned  to  the United  States  and  attended Lincoln  University,  where  he  won  the Witter  Bynner  Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the help of  a Guggenheim fellowship.  His  novels  include Not  without  Laughter (1930)  and The  Big  Sea (1940).  He  wrote  an  autobiography  in 1956  and  also  published  several  collections  of poetry.  The collections  include The  Weary  Blues (1926), The  Dream  Keeper (1932), Shakespeare  in  Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in the 1960s, he spent much  of  his  time  collecting  poems  from  Africa  and  from  African-Americans  to  popularize  black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in American literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly  black  produced  a  flood  of  great  literature,  music,  and  other  art  forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.
