*In Susan Faludi's 1993 book, Backlash(5)____ predicted that women's liberation would get a bad name. Then in 2005, Darla Shine's book, Happy Housewives, told women that (6)____should be proud to become housewives and mothers."Why was being a mum offered to (7)____ as a career?"

(10)___ now get freshly-prepared food everyday, instead of badly cooked meals that nearly killed (11)____ with food poisoning.
*These dáy there are many women like (12)____ who are quietly turning away from work and giving up high-powered jobs in law, medicine, banking and the media. As one friend pointed out, when a married couple are both earning good salaries, a great deal of their hand-earned money goes on income tax. So it seems that a lot of people are"downsizing" and looking for quality of life. Yes, (13)___may have to make cutbacks, but why have it all when you only want a bit?
*I think the problem is that women never really thought about what "work" meant and we never considered all the drawbacks. It is no fun being a woman holding down a job and trying to run a home. Every job in the home is unbelievably time-consuming. But when (14)____ had a full-time job, the fridge was empty, the house was unloved and the babysitter saw the kids more often than I did. At 11p.m I would still be putting their clothes in the washing machine or making (15)___ sandwiches because they did not like the school lunches. I was always exhausted but I never seemed to achieve anything. And there was a complete breakdown in communication between my husband and me. So where was the liberation in that?
