Additional quotes by Betty Friedan

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.

When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity, she finally began to enjoy being a woman.
