Abstract
The new feminism, which originated in 1963 with the publication of Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique,1 has had an enormous impact on attitudes as well as behavior. From it has emerged the contention that normative sex roles are culturally relative, that is, that the active and passive functions of personal and socioeconomic life have, within certain biological limits, been divided between the sexes in different ways by different cultures at different times. So swiftly has this feminist contention penetrated the popular imagination that little time has been available to consider the problems that a change in sex roles has created for individual men and women.2
Interviewer: Mr. Thurber, what do you expect to happen to the relationships between men and women during the next half century?
Thurber: Women will get stronger; men will get weaker; and dogs will remain about the same.
Interview with James Thurber, The New York Times, January 1, 1950
