Feminine Mystique The

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

One of the most influential books of the 20th century comes into Modern Classics

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 these women - and every woman - would ultimately set Second Wave feminism in motion and begin the battle for equality.

This ground-breaking and life-changing work remains just as powerful, important and true as it was sixty years ago, and is essential reading both as a historical document and as a study of women living in a man's world.
