A review by jhulme
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan
4.0
3.75 stars. The first half of the book has aged surprisingly well and was at turns fascinating, enlightening, and shocking with elements that still rang all too familiar.
The book started losing me at the sex/sexuality/mental illness suppositions that tie in with adherence to the Feminine Mystique. That part of the book really *didn’t* age well.
Still - an iconic book and I’m glad I finally read it.
