3.
Neither the Ladies Home Journal nor Phyllis Schaffly has anything to do with feminism. And Roe v Wade was 1973.
The Feminine Mystique is a great book, by the way!

In the early sixties feminism was still an unmentionable, but its ghost was slowly awakening from the dead. The first sign of new life came with the establishment of the Commission on the Status of Women by President Kennedy in 1961. Created at the urging of Esther Peterson of the Women's Bureau, in its short life the Commission came out with several often radical reports thoroughly documenting women's second class status. It was followed by the formation of a citizen's advisory council and fifty state commissions.
Many of the people involved in these commissions became the nucleus of women who, dissatisfied with the lack of progress made on commission recommendations, joined with Betty Friedan in 1966 to found the National Organization for Women.

Largely it came out of a combination or the womens sufferage movement and from social movements that arose out of WWII....Rosie the Riviter did'nt want to go back to cleaning house...yes this is a VERY simplified answer

My best guess was the persistence of Gloria Steinham as she spearheaded to feminist movement.
