'One of the most influential non-fiction books of the twentieth
century' The New York Times When Betty Friedan produced The
Feminine Mystique in 1963, she could not have realized how the
discovery and debate of her contemporaries' general malaise would
shake up society. Victims of a false belief system, these women
were following strict social convention by loyally conforming to
the pretty image of the magazines, and found themselves forced to
seek meaning in their lives only through a family and a home.
Friedan's controversial book about them - and every woman - would
ultimately set Second Wave feminism in motion and begin the battle
for equality. This groundbreaking and life-changing work remains
just as powerful, important and true as it was nearly fifty years
ago, and is essential reading both as a historical document and as
a study of women living in a man's world.
