each suburban wife struggled with it alone. over and over women told themselves. there isnt any problem. there isnt any problem at all.
— betty friedan, the feminine mystique, 1963
what was one effect of betty friedans book on american society in the 1960s?
○ women were immediately granted the right to vote in federal elections
○ women lost access to higher education and career training
○ women were required to take part in military service during wartime.
○ women began to challenge traditional roles and seek greater opportunities
Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique exposed the unhappiness of suburban women confined to traditional domestic roles, sparking second-wave feminism. The 19th Amendment (1920) already granted women federal voting rights, so the first option is incorrect. The book did not restrict women's education/career access or impose mandatory military service; instead, it encouraged women to question domestic norms and pursue broader opportunities.
