C.

Explanation:

Betty Friedan in 1963 published a book named "The Feminine Mystique".

In her book she used the phrase "feminine mystique" to define the assumptions that society has regarding the satisfaction for women which, according to the society, can be found only doing household works, rearing children, marriage or se-xual passivity.

So, the correct option is C.
