The correct answer is B. Betty Friedan is credited with starting the "Second Wave" of the Women's Rights Movement in the United States with her 1963 book The Feminine Mystique, and was the primary founder of the National Organization for Women in 1966.
Explanation:
Betty Friedan was one of the leaders of the American feminist movement. She advocated the full rights of women, from equal wages to men to participate in the country's political life, and the abolition of the ban on abortion.
She studied at Smith College for Women in 1938. In the first year of study, she received a scholarship for outstanding academic excellence. In her second year, she became interested in poetry and published many poems. In 1941, she became the chief editor of a college newspaper. Under her leadership, editorials became more political, taking a strong anti-war stance, and sometimes provoking controversy.
In 1966, Friedan created the United States National Organization of Women and became its president.
Betty Friedan gained fame after the publication of her book The Feminine Mystique in 1963. It said that the concept of “femininity” was invented by men to justify the role of mother and housewife, which is assigned to women in the modern world.
