Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The feminine mystique is the false notion that a woman’s “role” in society is to be a wife, mother, and housewife-nothing else. The mystique is an artificial idea of femininity that says having a career and/or fulfilling one’s individual potential somehow go against women’s pre-ordained role.
Detailed explanation-2: -With her book The Feminine Mystique (1963), Betty Friedan (1921-2006) broke new ground by exploring the idea of women finding personal fulfillment outside of their traditional roles. She also helped advance the women’s rights movement as one of the founders of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
