A review by thehawk72
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

3.0

I was going to give this a higher rating, but Friedan is still a product of her time and seems to have very wishy-washy or negative opinions of race and sexuality. These weren’t massive parts of the book, in fact most of the book I would probably give 5 stars. But her stance of feminism including everyone comes into question when she accuses gay men of having emotional immaturity and Black people of becoming too extreme.
