Answer:

A

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1- The correct answer is B.

Betty Friedan was an American theorist and feminist leader of the 1960s and 1970s. Trained in social psychology, in 1963 she wrote The Mystique of Femininity, a key book in the history of feminist thought and considered one of the most influential non-fiction books of the twentieth century. In the decade of 1970, she raised diverse fights for the approval of the laws on the abortion, the feminine work and on the rights of women in general. Betty Friedan is considered a central figure in American feminism.

Phyllis Schlafly was an American conservative activist and politician known for her best-selling 1964 book "A Choice, Not An Echo," her opposition to feminism and her crucial role in defeating the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s.

2- The correct answer is B, as the statement is false. In the early 1970s, Schlafly was also one of the most opposing fairs of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which, if approved, would have reinforced equal rights without gender distinctions, providing Congress with special powers over those of individual states. Schlafly was one of the main organizers and the largest leader of the movement known as "Stop the ERA", born in 1972 to prevent at least 38 states from ratifying the amendment.
