Question

in 1963, betty friedan, founder of the national organization for women, wrote, we can no longer ignore that voice within women that says: “i want something more than my husband and my children and my home.” the excerpt above could be used to support the thesis that the u.s. birthrate would increase as more women entered the workforce. the 19th amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote should be ratified. increased numbers of women in the workforce would result in unemployment for men. in the 1950s and 1960s, many american women were redefining their roles in society.

Explanation:

Betty Friedan's excerpt reflects women rejecting the narrow "wife/mother/homemaker" role, which aligns with redefining societal roles in the 1950s-60s. The other options are incorrect: the excerpt does not relate to birth rates, the 19th Amendment (ratified in 1920, decades earlier), or female workforce impact on male unemployment.

Answer:

D. in the 1950s and 1960s, many American women were redefining their roles in society.
