After women gained the right to vote, social feminism continued in the form of labor feminists who advocated for protectionist legislation and special benefits for women. The term is widely used, although some historians have questioned its validity. Origin of term William L. O'Neill introduced the term "social feminism" in his 1969 history of the feminist movement ''Everyone Was Brave: The Rise and Fall of Feminism in America''.
