Option A

Explanation:

Betty Friedan was a notable American activist come feminist writer. Her book 'The Feminine Mystique' created the sparkling second wave of feminism in America in the 1900s. She wrote this book after conducting a survey with her college friends. The result of the survey found that most of the women living their life as housewives were unhappy. So she started surveying the other suburban housewives.

She had the idea of publishing an article about the results of the survey. Instead, she wrote magazines and that became the bestselling book which was also a nonfiction genre. The name she gave to her book was to disprove the saying about women. That is women who were feminine should not get and education, have political opinions and have needed to work.
