It's not. It's actually D. The problem stemmed from the growing expectation that women in American society should enjoy the benefits provided by the new, modern, time-saving appliances and thus make their role in society exclusively based on maintaining their home, pleasing their husbands, and raising their children. As Friedan explained it in the first chapter of The Feminine Mystique, "The suburban housewife -- she was the dream image of the young American women and the envy, it was said, of women all over the world." The problem with this idealized, 1950s image of women in society was that many women were discovering that in reality, they were not happy with this limited role. Friedan had discovered a growing discontent that many women couldn't quite explain. http://history1900s.about.com/od/1960s/qt/femininemystiq.htm
