The eventual dwindling of the women’s rights movement was hastened by NOW’s singular focus on passage of the ERA. Owing to the efforts of women such as Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, and Gloria Steinem, the ERA passed Congress in 1972.

The alliance systems of Japan, Germany and Italy were put into action by this time, but Russo-Japanese relations were cordial.
