If I Were A Man, I Would

The Suburban Housewife - She Was The Dream Image Of The Young American Women And The Envy, It Was Said, Of Women All Over The World. The American Housewife - Freed By Science And Labor-saving Appliances From The Drudgery, The Dangers Of Childbirth, And The Illnesses Of Her Grandmother Had Found True Feminine Fulfillment.

The Problem Lay Buried, Unspoken For Many Years In The Minds Of American Women. It Was A Strange Stirring, A Sense Of Dissatisfaction, A Yearning That Women Suffered In The Middle Of The Twentieth Century In The United States. Each Suburban Housewife Struggled With It Alone. As She Made The Beds, Shopped For Groceries, Matched Slipcover Material, Ate Peanut Butter Sandwiches With Her Children, Chauffeured Cub Scouts And Brownies, Lay Beside Her Husband At Night, She Was Afraid To Ask Even Of Herself The Silent Question - "is This All?"

...women Who 'adjust' As Housewives, Who Grow Up Wanting To Be 'just A Housewife,' Are In As Much Danger As The Millions Who Walked To Their Own Death In The Concentration Camps...they Ate Suffering A Slow Death Of Mind And Spirit.
