Betty Friedan Quotes
A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex but neither should she adjust to prejudice and discrimination. - Betty Friedan Quotes
A woman has got to be able to say, and not feel guilty, Who am I, and what do I want out of life? She mustnt feel selfish and neurotic if she wants goals of her own, outside of husband and children. - Betty Friedan Quotes
A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of mans advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. - Betty Friedan Quotes
I never set out to write a book to change womens lives, to change history. Its like, Who, me? Yes, me. I did it. And Im not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman. - Betty Friedan Quotes
I was at a meeting two years ago in Beijing, and I passed a bunch of women who were marching in a protest. Their signs were probably saying something I wouldnt have agreed with at all. But I was so glad to see women marching. And its happening all over the world. - Betty Friedan Quotes
If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, dont blame the womens movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery. - Betty Friedan Quotes
It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all. - Betty Friedan Quotes
It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is womens denigration of themselves. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Men werent really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill. - Betty Friedan Quotes
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework - an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life. - Betty Friedan Quotes
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive. - Betty Friedan Quotes
The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: Is this all? - Betty Friedan Quotes
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. - Betty Friedan Quotes
There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line. - Betty Friedan Quotes
We need to see men and women as equal partners, but its hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy! - Betty Friedan Quotes
When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity she finally began to enjoy being a woman. - Betty Friedan Quotes
