Read the excerpt from betty friedan’s the feminine mystique. i heard echoes of the problem in college dormitories and semiprivate maternity wards, at pta meetings and luncheons of the league of women voters, at suburban cocktail parties, in station wagons waiting for trains, and in snatches of conversation overheard at schrafft’s. the groping words i heard from other women, on quiet afternoons when children were at school or on quiet evenings when husbands worked late, i think i understood first as a woman long before i understood their larger social and psychological implications. based on the underlined words and phrases, what is friedan most likely trying to express?

These are the choices I found on the internet:

a. It was unacceptable for women to show displeasure, and many feared being punished by law.

b. The ideas of a minority of women were not understood by the majority of women.

c. Women did not yet understand that they were dissatisfied, so they had difficulty explaining themselves.

d. Feelings of discontentment among women were growing but still could not be expressed openly.

The answer is letter D - Feelings of discontentment among women were growing but still could not be expressed openly.

just add on too that

explanation:

each year on march 8, international women’s day is celebrated around the globe. it’s an important opportunity to shine a spotlight on women’s involvement, contributions, and accomplishments on a range of issues from domestic violence to the role of women in the c-suite. the theme this year is “be bold for change”― a dictum that those who know me personally will acknowledge has pretty much been my mantra throughout my career on wall street, in media and most recently, in philanthropy.the empowerment of girls as leaders, who can be emboldened today to become even stronger leaders tomorrow, is an increasingly recognized imperative in our world, and it couldn’t be closer to my heart

to me i think class room sitting education is better. i do online school and i have not learned a think haha. when i sit in the classroom i just sit there and kind of pay attention but still i get so far ahead in the class when im doing online i have nothing else better to do but play video games and i sit in school and learn and have friends and just actually learn. when i'm doing online i sit here listing to music and get on and and look up the answers i guess that is my fault for being a cheater. but to be honest i think sitting in the classroom is better.
