The Feminine Mystique af Betty Friedan
I honestly tried to read this book, and I fully understand why it's an extremely important book for women and men alike... buuutttt, I have never been pressured into becoming a housewife so it is extremely hard to relate to. Interesting at times, extremely drawn out for the most part, though that may be because the book is fairly outdated. I didn't finish because it was... Gasp... Boring.
I reached page 110 before I decided it wasn't worth the time to read the rest of the book.

An important book (maybe the most important book) for second-wave feminism, it helped start the movement. This book at times feels dated, it was written for the housewife, yet this book feel relevant still. It talks about how women with a college degree get married only to end up being a housewife and listening to their husband, when they aught to do what they want, get a job, and use their degree. In other words, GET OUT OF THE DAMN KITCHEN!
Wasn't going to read this until later, but I was watching the Hulu show Mrs. America and tis book and Betty Friedan are a key part to the show. Helped me understand the show and second-wave feminism better. It's important to know the different waves because they don't share the same ideas.… (mere)
