The feminine mystique (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


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 book about these women would ultimately set Second Wave feminism in motion and begin the battle for equality.
