Family Bed Questionnaire

In 1957, Betty Friedan and several of her classmates from Smith College created a reunion questionnaire. The responses were so illuminating that Friedan turned it into her ground-breaking 1963 best-seller The Feminine Mystique. Fifty-one years later, we revisited Friedan's original questions to create our own questionnaire in the hopes of shining a light on our generation--and specifically our sex lives and how they do/don't change or evolve once kids enter our lives. We hope you will share and help us to understand our generation as parents.
