About this ebook
Feminist author and social psychologist Betty Friedan was one of the most
disruptive, era-defining voices of the 20th century. Her best-known work, The Feminine Mystique, is hailed as 'the book that started second-wave feminism'.
But who was she? What did she say?
And where did those ground-breaking ideas come from?
This book begins by telling the story of Friedan's life and times, giving the reader a
unique insight into her rebellious character and the conservative world in which she
lived. It then examines her most revolutionary ideas and political battles, before going on to examine her trailblazing activism and its continuing legacies.
