Editorial Review:
The book that changed the consciousness of a country—and the world. 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.

Rating:  - The Feminine Mystique

In fact, Freudian thought is entirely contrary to feminist thought.
If you don't believe me, either buy the book or check it out from your local library and see Chapter 5: The Sexual Solipsism of Sigmund Freud.
The following is taken from the first paragraph from that chapter:

Rating: - You'll never quit your job after reading this book
I read this book in high school, and was very happy to read it again in my 40s. In each instance, the urgency, and the modern-day applications of this work hit me in the face: the American woman exists in a world with extraordinary pressures. The pressure to get married; the pressure to let a man support you; the pressure to fully believe that unless you live your life through your family and solely through your family that you are somehow a failure.
Some parts of this book feel dated--and certainly ... Read More
