"The Feminine Mystique forever changed the conversation as well as
the way women view themselves. If you’ve never read it, read it now
and reflect on what our mothers and grandmothers were feeling at
the time. It’s a great moment to celebrate this milestone work,
which fundamentally altered the course of women’s lives."
*Arianna Huffington - O Magazine*
"Re-reading The Feminine Mystique, it exudes love for the human
being, human spirit, and human potential. She wants mothers—indeed,
all people—to "lean in" to life's work and not fear inevitable
difficulties that arise when trying to "have it all" and juggle
work and family. Overcome obstacles. Solve problems. Serve
leftovers, she urges. Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique 50
years ago, but today her wisdom still merits sharing."
*Nanette Fondas - The Atlantic*
"The Tupac Shakur of literary feminism, reincarnated at least once
every decade with new insights that engender old beefs while at the
same time serving as a reminder of why it’s a classic."
*Andi Zeisler - Salon*
