A review by georgialilyw
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

Obviously, some of this book has not aged well, but I was surprised about the amount that had. I feel the mistake people would make would be to read this thinking it is an examination of a universal women's experience (from the time) when actually (as Friedan expresses) this is a majority white, middle class women's life. The way that this made me think about relationships, careers and even how I want to spend my time will stay with me. I would recommend reading as an important part of women's history.
