The Feminine Mystique - Softcover

Views the distorted image of women that prevailed from the end of the Second World War to the early sixties and reflects upon changes

hed in 1963, The Feminine  Mystique ignited a revolution that  profoundly changed our culture, our conciousness, and our  lives. Today it newly penetrates to the heart of  isuues determining our lives -- and sounds a call to  arms against the very real dangers of a newe  feminine mystique in the economic and political  turbulence of the 1990s.

Three decades later,  the underlying issues raised by Betty Friedan strike  at the core of the problems women still face at  home and in the marketplace. As women continue to  struggle for equality, to keep their hard-won gains,  to find fulfillment in their careers, marriage and  family, The Feminine Mystique  remains the seminal conciousness-raising work of  our times.
