Description
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan is a landmark work that captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a generation. Published in 1963, it gave voice to the insidious beliefs and institutions that undermined women's confidence in their intellectual capabilities.
At a time when many women were expected to marry young and leave education behind, Friedan wrote a powerful manifesto that showed women how they could reclaim their lives. This 50th-anniversary edition features an afterword by Anna Quindlen and a new introduction by Gail Collins, offering fresh insights into the enduring relevance of this groundbreaking book.
