	The Feminine Mystique Betty Friedan (1963)
		The feminine mystique derived its power from Freudian thought; for it was an idea born of Freud, which led women, and those who studied them, to misinterpret their mothers’ frustrations, and their fathers’ and brothers’ and husbands’ resentments and inadequacies, and their own emotions and possible choices in life.
		‘The feminine situation is, however, only established when the wish for the penis is replaced by the wish for a child – the child taking the place of the penis.’ When she played with dolls, this ‘was not really an expression of her femininity’, since this was activity, not passivity.
		The most zealous missionaries of the feminine mystique were the functionalists, who seized hasty gulps of pre-digested Freud to start their new departments of ‘Marriage and Family-Life Education’.

	Betty Friedan and the Radical Past of Liberal Feminism
		In The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, Friedan aimed to expose the sexist underpinnings of America's post-World War II complacent prosperity.
		Friedan's self- presentation in The Feminine Mystique is that of a rather naive and apolitical albeit bright and university-educated suburban housewife who stumbles onto a startling discovery -- that America's housewives are, in fact, miserable.
		There is hardly a word in The Feminine Mystique that would indicate that American women in the 1950s were dealing with problems other than the trap of suburban domesticity which, after all, was a consequence of economic prosperity.

		etty Friedan's ground-breaking work The Feminine Mystique was published in 1963 after Friedan sent a questionnaire to other women in her 1942 Smith College graduating class.
		She defined this "mystique" as the worthlessness women feel in roles that require them to be financially, intellectually and emotionally dependent upon their husbands.
		Through her findings, Friedan hypothesized that women are victims of a false belief system that requires them to find identity and meaning in their lives through their husbands and children.

		She started the second wave feminist movement with her book The Feminine Mystique.
		In addition to blocking out rays from suns in distant galaxies, serving as a racoonine substitute for makeup, and masking your blood-shot, coke-glazed eyes from prying gazes; these sunglasses do tremendous wonders for the feminine mystique.

		And it was the feminine that I had been seeking all my life, why the natural world meant so much to me but could never quite fulfill the completion that it promised.
		Without the feminine aspect of spirituality that had been an integral part of so many traditions before the Catholic Church there could be no sense of completion in the world’s understanding of itself.
		Everything feminine seems to suffer this denigration: emotion, instinct, mystery, nature and the boundless… We are collectively hoodwinked into believing the Great Lie: the supremacy of all things linear, logical and our ability to exert control over our environment and life itself.

	The Feminine Mystique: Chapter 1
		For over fifteen years there was no word of this yearning in the millions of words written about women, for women, in all the columns, books and articles by experts telling women their role was to seek fulfillment as wives and mothers.
		If the secret of feminine fulfillment is having children, never have many women, with the freedom to choose, had so many children in so few years, so willingly.
		I began to see in a strange new light the American return to early marriage and the large families that are causing the population explosion; the recent movement to natural childbirth and breastfeeding; suburban conformity, and the new neuroses, character pathologies and sexual problems being reported by the doctors.
