It was written by Betty Freidan in 1963 and basically sparked second-wave feminism because it dove into the causes of the pain experienced by the REAL Aprils of America in the 1950s and early 60s. These women suffered from what Freidan called "the problem." It was an unexplained feeling of unfullfillment taking over the lives of housewives across the country. I'd definitely suggest this book to anyone, feminist or not, because it, at the time, bridged the gap between radical and conservative feminism. It was written more than 40 years ago, but its message is still powerful and relevant. Go get yourself a copy! Colleen, have you ever read “The Feminine Mystique?”
