A doctoral dissertation at the College of Education for Girls, titled "Feminist Movements in the United States of America, 1960–1990," was presented by student Yusra Imad Muhammad Saeed al-Taha. The thesis aims to study the development of American feminist movements from 1960–1990 and their impact on legislation and society.
The thesis covers the second wave of the feminist movement, its most prominent leaders, ideas, and laws supporting equality, the role of the media and organizations, and the challenges and internal divisions.

The thesis concludes that feminist movements have achieved significant legislative and societal achievements despite resistance from conservative forces and intellectual divisions. It also examines comparative feminist experiences, spreading awareness of women's rights in the Arab world, and supporting historical and social research on women's issues.
