“The feminine mystique says that the highest value and the only commitment for women is the fulfilment of their own femininity … “… it says that this femininity is so mysterious and intuitive and close to the creation and origin of life that man-made science may never be able to understand it. “The mistake, says the mystique, the root of women’s troubles in the past is that women envied men, instead of accepting their own nature, which can find fulfilment only in sexual passivity, male domination, and nurturing maternal love.”
