What is Friedan's attitude toward what she calls the "feminine mystique"?
She upholds femininity as women's highest virtue because it conveys mystery.
She sees the ideal of femininity as stiffling women's potential in the 1950s.
She is ambivalent about it, since on the one hand it offered women a life of leisure, but on the other hand it limited their earning power.
She is wary of defining it because the women she talked to couldn't describe their problem.
