Willie Mathews · Answer 1

d. tradition, sophistication

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique," women at the time were given a hard time by "experts" who wrote countless articles and columns encouraging women to find a husband and fulfill their roles as wives and mothers. Actually, Friedan mentions that women "heard voices of tradition and Feudian sophistication" which told them that marriage and children were the greatest thing that could happen to them because it was the accepted, conventional and ladylike way to act.
