The changes that the second wave of feminism brought about were the eighteenth and nineteenth amendments. The eighteenth amendment was for prohibition and the nineteenth gave women the right to vote. Thought the Nineteenth Amendment still stands today, the eighteenth was later repealed.
Note: Many people regard the second wave of feminism as the time period that came just after WWII, however that is actually not the case. The first wave of feminism was actually at the time of slavery when women helped in the emancipation cause. This is not widely regarded because it was not focused on women's rights. However, feminists knew that in order for women to gain the right to vote and right to own property, male slaves would need that right first. And they also knew they would gain the popularity and support of the slaves once emancipated.

First wave feminism lasted from the 1840s until the 1920s. It was largely started by the the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, and was focused for the most part on getting women the vote. With the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, the movement lost momentum, and floundered until the advent of second wave feminism in the 1960s. Second feminism dealt with equality in job opportunity and pay, and was motivated by the discontent many women felt after having been pushed out of the workforce and back into the home after men returned from the Second World War. Second wave feminism also dealt with reproductive rights, and saw victory with the outcome of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Second Wave feminism continued until the 1980s, and then evolved into third wave feminism that continued to fight for issues like reproductive rights and employment issues, but also sought to reconcile itself with women who had largely been ignored in first and second wave feminism, which were largely middle-class white women's movements. Third wave feminism began working to solve issues faced by women of color, queer women, women with disabilities, working class women, and to include them in the larger feminist movement.
