Mystique
“[T]he problems for women are not just American; they are global.
Betty Friedan spoke of the ‘problem that has no name’ when she wrote
about the American housewife’s unhappiness. . . . Many women around the world still live in a
culture that does not allow them to speak of what is wrong with their
situation, whether it has a name or not. They cannot speak up about
rape, genital mutilation, abuse, objectification, harassment, arranged
marriage, low pay, poverty.
“Both men and women can speak out for those who feel too endangered to do so themselves. This is what feminism is.”
