Answer 2

Answer: Politics

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt reflects Friedan’s idea about the discontent women felt in America during the years following World War II when they had to go back to their housework after having step into the workforce while most men were at war. "Unhappiness is merely the most recently won of women’s rights" shows the mainstream idea on the subject: female discontent is a part of a positive political process, every time women were granted the possibility to study and work... for a while.

"We ought to salute the wonderful freedom" is a political call to obedience, which Friedan critics through the concept of feminine mystique: the presumption that women could feel accomplished from their housework alone.
