It resulted in few changes by either the employers or government.

Explanation:

Before the national organization for women was founded efforts to gain equal rights for women resulted in few changes by either the employers or government.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded by Betty Friedman and Pauli Murray, on the 30th of June, 1966. It has 550 chapters in all the states around the United States of America.

Also, the National Organization for Women was birthed as a result of President John F. Kennedy's Commission on the Status of Women, and notably the book authored by Betty Friedman.

Betty argued in her book "The Feminine Mystique" that when women deny themselves freedom of expression, they usually feel worthless.

Hence, the National Organization for Women (NOW) is primarily a political advocacy group (an American feminist NGO), that is aimed at promoting feminist ideals, equal rights for women, advocating societal change, eliminate discrimination etc.
