Which one (Author-Books) is not in right combination?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 2:

This option, Simone de Beauvoir - "Sexual Politics," is the correct answer because it represents the combination that is *not* right. While Simone de Beauvoir is a foundational feminist philosopher, her landmark work is "The Second Sex" (1949), which analyzes the oppression of women through a historical, existential, and philosophical lens, famously declaring, "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." The book "Sexual Politics" (1970) was actually written by Kate Millett. Millett's work is a classic text of second-wave feminism that systematically critiques patriarchy in Western society and literature, defining politics as power-structured relationships, including those between the sexes. Therefore, the attribution of "Sexual Politics" to Simone de Beauvoir is factually incorrect, making this the desired answer for a question asking for the wrong combination.

The incorrect option is 1:
This option, Germaine Greer - "The Female Eununch," is a correct Author-Book combination. Germaine Greer's 1970 text, "The Female Eunuch," is one of the most significant and controversial books of the second-wave feminist movement. It argues that society castrates women, turning them into "eunuchs" for consumption by men, effectively stripping them of their desire and agency. Since this is a correct pairing, it is incorrect to choose this option as the answer to the main question (which asks for the incorrect combination).

The incorrect option is 3:
This combination, Betty Friedan - "The Feminine Mystique," is a well-established and correct pairing. "The Feminine Mystique" (1963) is widely credited with sparking the beginning of the second-wave feminist movement in the United States. Friedan addressed what she called "the problem that has no name," describing the widespread unhappiness of middle-class American women confined to the role of housewives. Since this is a correct pairing, it is incorrect to choose this option as the answer to the main question.

The incorrect option is 4:
The pairing Naomi Wolf - "Fire with fire" is a correct combination. Published in 1993, "Fire with Fire" is a key text of third-wave feminism, in which Wolf advocates for a "power feminism" that encourages women to embrace their strength and sexual agency rather than dwelling on victimhood. This combination is factually accurate, meaning it is an incorrect choice when trying to identify the miscombination in the question.
