About the book
A fundamental feminist classic that questions the myths that shaped the lives of postwar American women. Betty Friedan investigates how consumer society and advertising shaped female identity, confining women to the exclusive role of wife and mother, despite their capabilities and intellectual longings.
With sociological rigor and disturbing personal narratives, Friedan exposes the silent frustration of generations of women and argues for the need for personal self-fulfillment and equal opportunity, catalyzing a movement that would transform Western society.
