The Only Kind Of Work Which Permits An Able Woman To Realize Her Abilities Fully, To Achieve Identity In Society In A Life Plan That Can Encompass Marriage And Motherhood, Is The Kind That Was Forbidden By The Feminine Mystique, The Lifelong Commitment To An Art Or Science, To Politics Or Profession. If Divorce Has Increased By One Thousand Percent, Don't Blame The Women's Movement. Blame The Obsolete Sex Roles On Which Our Marriages Were Based.

I Never Set Out To Write A Book To Change Women's Lives, To Change History. It's Like, 'who, Me?' Yes, Me. I Did It. And I'm Not That Different From Other Women. Maybe My Power And Glory Was That I Could Speak My Truth As A Woman And It Was The Truth Of Every Woman.
