The Kennedy administration was one that focused mostly on fighting and winning the cold wars abroad with the first one happening in Cuba. All this led to the Soviet Union being involved and aiding Cuba against further U.S incursion. Lyndon B. Johnson was the successor of John Kennedy (1964). He wasn’t into fighting the Vietnamese war though he feared that he would be considered to be soft on communism which was going to be seen as a weakness, and jeopardize the congressional support for his domestic plans. But this changed after the North Vietnamese gunboats made 2 attempts against U.S ships, and congress passed the gulf of Tonkin resolution that empowered the president to repel any armed attacks against the forces of the U.S and to prevent further aggression giving Johnson the unlimited power to make military decisions. Betty Friedan was an American feminist, journalist, writer and author of the book “The feminine Mystique” (1963). Betty and like-minded women formed an organization that was dedicated in moving society toward true equality for all women in America (1966), which they named in it the National Organization for women

- The Critique Of Pauli Murray's 'Feminine Mystique'analytical essayThe “Feminine Mystique” is a highly influential book in the early second wave feminism movement. It is said that it helped shaped the demands of the second wave by insisting for the right to work outside the home, and to be paid equally; the right for reproductive freedom; the demand that women should not be expected to have children and be mothers if they do not want to. Betty Friedan addresses “the problem that has no name” which is the women who are highly educated, suburban housewives that are bored and want something “more” in their life. This is the point where women knew we needed a second wave. Women’s role had gone backwards and they were beginning to realize that they were all experiencing the same “problem that has no name”. “The

Betty’s work sparked what is now known as the “second wave” of the American feminist movement. Although The Feminine Mystique primarily made waves within the older, educated and upper-middle class women, it set a number of ideological debates from the mid 1960’s to today. It spoke to the “silent” women who were dissatisfied with life at home, and longed for a fulfilling career. The women’s rights movement truly formulated out of the frustration of confinement of women. “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?’" In 1966, the National Organization or Women was created and sought to change the way society, and the government approached gender roles and women’s

Her findings lead to the writing of her first book, The Feminine Mystique. The book uses other women’s personal experiences along with her own experiences to describes the idea behind being a feminist. “At every step of the way, the feminists had to fight the conception that they were violating the God-given nature of woman… The image of the feminists as inhuman, fiery man-eater, whether expressed as an offense against God or in the modern terms of sexual perversion, is not unlike the stereotype of the Negro as a primitive animal or the union member as an anarchist” (86-87). That image of women that has been created by society and the same idea applies to race and how it is something that is so prone to society about things no one can change.
