Answer 1

Correct Answer:

c. argued against women placing children in front of their careers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Feminine Mystique is a book written by Betty Friedan. It is widely credited with sparking the beginning of second-wave feminism in the United States after its publication. This book was based on the survey carried out by Betty on the 15th anniversary reunion to know the fulfillment of her classmates as housewives.

In her book, she challenged the widely shared belief in the 1950's that fulfillment as a woman had only one definition for American women after 1949—the housewife-mother.
