Letter "B" » Betty Friedan Quotes
«When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity she finally began to enjoy being a woman»
«Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength»
Author: Betty Friedan | About: Age | Keywords: aging, stage
«The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.»
«It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself.»
«The problem that has no name - which is simply the fact that American women are kept from growing to their full human capacities - is taking a far greater toll on the physical and mental health of our country than any known disease»
«The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: ''Is this all?''»
«Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.»
Author: Betty Friedan | About: Enemies, Men | Keywords: denigration, victims
«Men weren't really the enemy -- they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.»
«Instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.»
«A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man's advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.»
