"One of the most influential non-fiction books of the twentieth century" - The New York Times. When Betty Friedan published "The Feminine Mystique" in 1963, she could not have imagined how much the discovery and discussion of the widespread unhappiness of her contemporaries would disrupt society. Victims of a false belief system, these women followed strict social norms, faithfully conforming to the glossy magazine image, and were forced to seek meaning in their lives only through a family and a home. Friedan's controversial book for them – and for every woman – would eventually trigger the second wave of feminism and initiate the fight for equality. This groundbreaking and impressive work remains as powerful, significant, and true as it was almost fifty years ago and is a necessary read both as a historical document and as a study of women living in a man's world.
