Matching Quote
"What had really caused the women's movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women's life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn't live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was "the problem that had no name." Realizing that it was not some
freakish
personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives."
-Betty Friedan
