Landmark, groundbreaking, classic-these adjectives barely do
justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine
Mystique. Published in 1963, it gave a pitch-perfect description of
"the problem that has no name": the insidious beliefs and
institutions that undermined women's confidence in their
intellectual capabilities and kept them in the home. Writing in a
time when the average woman first married in her teens and 60
percent of women students dropped out of college to marry, Betty
Friedan captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a
generation and showed women how they could reclaim their lives.
Part social chronicle, part manifesto, The Feminine Mystique is
filled with fascinating anecdotes and interviews as well as
insights that continue to inspire. This 50th-anniversary edition
features an afterword by best-selling author Anna Quindlen as well
as a new introduction by Gail Collins.
