Excerpt: “Experts told them how to catch a man and keep him, how breastfeed children and handle their toilet training… how to dress, look, and act more feminine and make marriage more exciting… They were taught to pity the neurotic unfeminine, unhappy women who wanted to be poets or physicists or presidents. They learned that truly feminine women do not want careers, higher education, political rights- the independence...opportunities that the old- fashioned feminists fought for.
