Friedan trained to be a psychologist until she married in 1947. She then gave up work to look after her three children. Sixteen years later The Feminine Mystique was published#"As [the American suburban wife] made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slip cover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: 'is this all?'"#In 1973 Friedan led the National Women's Strike for Equality, convened the International Feminist Congress and helped found the First Women's Bank#Friedan said: "If divorce had increased 1000 per cent, don't blame the woman's movement. Blame our obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based."#Friedan believes her son is a 'new man'. "It's evolution," she says#In 1970 Betty Friedan was replaced as President of NOW by Gloria Steinem. "I have led you into history", she said. "I leave you now - to make new history." In 1972 the deposed Friedan accused Steinem of "ripping off the movement for private profit."#"When we started the women's movement we'd had our children. We never meant women to stop wanting them!"#In the Sixties Friedan called the boredom of the American housewife 'the problem that has no name'. "Today the problem that has no name," Friedan said in 1981, "is how to juggle work, love, home and children."
