Quotes by Betty Friedan
Men weren’t really the enemy – they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.
Betty Friedan
Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women’s denigration of themselves.
Betty Friedan
I was at a meeting two years ago in Beijing, and I passed a bunch of women who were marching in a protest. Their signs were probably saying something I wouldn’t have agreed with at all. But I was so glad to see women marching. And it’s happening all over the world.
Betty Friedan

Betty Friedan
