Explanation:

The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan critiques the post-WWII ideal that women's sole role is domesticity. Friedan argued that women were left unfulfilled and unhappy when confined to only home and family roles, which denied them the ability to pursue personal growth, careers, and self-expression. The correct option aligns with this core argument.

Answer:

women feel worthless when they deny themselves freedom of expression.
