The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, Anna Quindlen (Introduction)

From the Publisher

Landmark, groundbreaking, classic-these adjectives barely describe the earthshaking and long-lasting effects of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This is the book that defined "the problem that has no name," that launched the Second Wave of the feminist movement, and has been awakening women and men with its insights into social relations, which still remain fresh, ever since. A national bestseller, with over 1 million copies sold.
