A bit of added detail:
I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.
John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959. He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan. Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain communist aggression when it occurred.
Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship." In an article in <em>LIFE </em>magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art." He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Answer:
Bogdan I, sau Bogdan Întemeietorul (în română: Bogdan Întemeietorul), a fost primul domnitor independent, sau voievod, al Moldovei în anii 1360. Inițial fusese voievodul sau șeful vlahilor din Maramureș în Regatul Ungariei. Bogdan și servitorii săi au părăsit Maramureșul în Moldova între 1359 și 1365. Moldova fusese sub stăpânirea lui Sas al Moldovei, vasal al lui Ludovic I al Ungariei, dar vlahii locali s-au opus suzeranității maghiare. Bogdan l-a alungat cu forta pe fiul lui Sas, Balc, si a pus mana pe tron. Ca răzbunare, Ludovic I a confiscat moșiile lui Bogdan în Maramureș în 1365. Bogdan a domnit ca prim voievod al Moldovei. Nu a acceptat domnia lui Ludovic I al Ungariei, transformând Moldova în al doilea principat român independent.

Explanation:
This years saw an extreme transformation of the role of women in American society for several reasons. The first reason was the process of industrialization, which in turn led to the process of urbanization. As industrialization became more common in the United States, factories and large businesses began to be built. This made the process of manufacturing less physically demanding, allowing women and children to operate machinery. This gave women the chance of working outside of the home and earn independent wages, something that had been very uncommon in the past. Work and wages gave women a sense of independence.
On the other hand, urbanization also led to women's liberation. In rural contexts, women were more tightly controlled by their parents, and then their husbands. There were few activities outside of the home, and domesticity was the accepted norm. With urbanization came a different lifestyle. Women had disposable income and were able to enjoy what the city had to offer, such as private housing and certain types of entertainment (like theatre).
The changing role of women during these years led to a growing sense of independence and a desire for freedom and equality. This gave rise to movements such as the suffrage movement, and the movement for equal wages. Women were very important in the labor and reform movements of the following years. All of these events were very important to the development of feminism.
