Summary:
Challenging both conservative and liberal myths about Betty Friedan's bestselling book,The
Feminine
Mystique
, historian Stephanie Coontz re-examines the
dawn
of the
1960s
(when the sexual revolution had barely begun) and brilliantly illuminates how a generation of
women
came to realize that their dissatisfaction with domestic life didn't reflect their personal weakness but rather a social and political injustice.
