the drive for equality should not eliminate the right to be a wife and mother.

Explanation

In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan challenged the idea that women could find fulfillment only as wives and mothers. She described the “problem that has no name”: many women felt dissatisfied because society restricted them to domestic roles and denied them opportunities for personal growth and self-expression. So the best choice is “women feel worthless when they deny themselves freedom of expression.”
