ABSTRACT
Betty Friedan wrote in 1963 in her book The Feminine Mystique, “The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women.” What Friedan writes about is the cultural, societal, and legal barriers that for so many years prevented the equality of women in society. There remain many physiological and biological differences between men and women that most people, male and female, believe cannot and should not be altered.
