The Feminine Mystique: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Betty Friedan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2010
'One of the most influential non-fiction books of the twentieth century'The New York Times

When Betty Friedan producedThe Feminine Mystiquein 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work remains just as powerful, important and true as it was nearly fifty years ago, and is essential reading both as a historical document and as a study of women living in a man's world.

Notă biografică

Betty Friedan(1921-2006) is hailed by historians as a seminal figure in the 'Second Wave' of the women's feminist movement. In 1957, Friedan wrote a questionnaire for her former classmates at a reunion at the all-female, Smith College. The results revealed that many women shared the same frustrations as her in their roles as housewives and mothers. Friedan's findings provided a clear-eyed analysis of the issues that affected women's lives in the decades after the Second World War, and became the basis to her book,The Feminine Mystique.A sensation on publication selling over 3 million copies, it established Friedan as one of the chief architects of the women's liberation movement.
