Very clear outline now.
But there are following suggestions:
1. Part III about Women's Movements should be also part of Part II, which is about the factors which brought the changes of women's status.

2. About "Act of Equal Employment", which can be part of Part II, too. But if it is not always followed, it should belong to the following part about inequality.

3. Part IV and V are both about the inequality of women at work, so they should be put together in the same part as two subparts.
