Question 6 • IC English 11 - Deering

Considering the topic of feminism and Betty Friedan’s tone, what should a reader expect from Friedan’s book The Feminine Mystique?

Answer
A
an answer to the question “Is this all?”
B
an assault on weak and lonely women
C
an analysis of the causes of female dissatisfaction

Explanation

Betty Friedan’s book examines why many women felt unfulfilled despite living in the roles society prescribed for them. Given the topic of feminism and Friedan’s critical tone, readers should expect an analysis of the causes of female dissatisfaction, not an attack on women themselves. “Is this all?” captures a question associated with that dissatisfaction, but C best describes the book’s focus.
