In which year was NOW founded?

• A. 1966
• B. 1955
• C. 1970
• D. 1962

Answer: (A)

NOW, the National Organization for Women, was formed in 1966 as a national platform to fight gender discrimination and push for women's rights during the second wave of feminism. It brought together activists like Betty Friedan to organize legal challenges, lobbying, and public campaigns aimed at achieving equality in work, education, and society. That year is the answer because NOW did not exist before 1966 and had become a prominent force during the late 1960s; later dates reflect the organization's continued work after its founding.
