I would say the correct answer is - <span>But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
As you already said, allegory is something that tells us a deeper and more important story than what may seem on the surface. So these four people don't just want to go on a pilgrimage and find the Fountain of Youth on a whim - there must be something important behind their decision.

Answer:

According to Friedan, women were taught to pity the neurotic, unfeminine, unhappy women who wanted _____.

to be poets, physicists, or presidents.

Explanation:

The above assertion meant that women were not permitted to pursue careers.  They were taught to be satisfied with their roles in the family.  This is the argument that women should find fulfillment in their housework, marriage, sexual lives, and children.  Seeking higher education, pursuing careers, and involvement in political activism should be left for the male folks.  Friedan's argument was that the feminine mystique disadvantaged women greatly, both in their personal and professional lives.  Therefore, she advocated that women should seek personal achievement by pursuing professional careers.
