For your third essay assignment you will be analyzing an excerpt from Betty Frie

For your third essay assignment you will be analyzing an excerpt from Betty Friedan’s 1963 book, The Feminine Mystique. The book is often credited with reviving modern feminism. Friedan went on to organize the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966. In the Feminine Mystique Friedan argues against the widely held belief that women could only find fulfillment through child-bearing, mothering, and homemaking. The book was enormously well-received by millions of quietly desperate housewives.
