I can see why this inspired a revolution. Truly one of the most intelligent, insightful non-fiction books I have ever consumed. Betty Friedann is an icon of feminisim and I can truly say I have learnt a lot and I feel empowered by a woman's writings from 60 years ago!

This book didn't age well. I was hoping for something more enlightening to help my understanding of feminism and what I got was an incredibly redundant book that was so bold as to compare middle-class housewifery to Nazi concentration camps. I felt like there was a lot of blame placed on the women themselves which left me feeling gross. I give it credit for the impact it had back in the day, but in my opinion this book is no longer relevant.

I really find the feminine mystique situates itself in a time where the most annoying people I know seem to venerate the idea of becoming a housewife. Drugs are back baby
