A review of women's movement activism in the late 20th century notes that, in spite of serious challenges, feminist movements in the US & GB have changed the political agenda & realized policy goals advancing women's political aspirations. It is argued that these achievements are linked to internal structural changes as well as external relationships with other organizations & the state. Patterns of sustained dynamic interaction driving the forms & agendas of these movements are examined, stressing the impact on policy outcomes of interrelationships between mobilization, agenda formation, & changes in values/consciousness. The context & content of US & British feminist movements are described, along with changes that occurred in the movements & the emergence of new political environments that threatened their survival. Resultant policy outcomes associated with economic equity, abortion, & domestic violence are assessed, along with the evidence of changes in consciousness that allowed movement goals to become a greater part of everyday values & practices.
