Roku 1970, při příležitosti 50. výročí schválení 19. dodatku americké ústavy , organizovala celonárodní ženskou stávku za rovnost pohlaví, jíž se zúčastnilo na 20 000 žen, pochodu v New Yorku pak 50 000. Později založila National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, organizaci bojující za legalizaci potratů. Angažovala se při schvalování dodatku ústavy, který by zaručoval ženám rovnost ve všech oblastech života. Ten prošel oběma komorami Kongresu, ale nebyl schválen, protože ho, i díky lobbingu konzervativních sil, neratifikovaly státy . V 80. letech se stala kritičkou extrémních proudů ve feminismu, tuto kritiku soustředila především v knize The Second Stage z roku 1981. Wikipedia

“The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own. There is no other way.”

“Men weren’t really the enemy — they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.”

As quoted by The Christian Science Monitor (1 April 1974) This has sometimes appeared paraphrased: "Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim."

“The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women.”

Opening lines, Ch. 1 "The Problem That Has No Name".
The Feminine Mystique (1963)
Kontext: 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?”

“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty.”

Betty Friedan kniha The Fountain of Age

Preface.
The Fountain of Age (1993)
Kontext: What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.

“A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex but neither should she 'adjust' to prejudice and discrimination.”
