The Feminine Mystique

Girls growing up in small towns or religious families or girls soon becoming women facing that question about what to do with love and life–read this book. I believe we haven't yet overcome the Feminine Mystique. And though Friedan writes from a different era, though some of the things she says about sexual orientation and preference seem downright ignorant (they are!), the meat of this book proclaims woman=human. Perhaps we are long overdue a man=human book (see “Metamorphosis: Two Generations Later”), too. . .
