What Our Customers Say...

Description

Decorative Binding, Leather Binding, Original Binding, Scarce

A scarce collector's edition. In the original full crushed morocco binding with decorative gilt detail, and a satin ribbon marker. Printed on archival quality paper, especially milled for this edition. 'The Feminine Mystique', is a classic feminist book, widely recognised as having started the second-wave feminist movement in the United States of America. First published in the early 1960s, the book analyses the assumption that American women should become housewives. Through interviews and psychological research, Friedan raises the voices of women who were often unheard. Betty Friedan was a prolific American writer and activist, who was chosen as the first president of the National Organisation for Women, and later organised the nationwide 'Women's Strike for Equality'. With a half title page. Bookplate for 'County of Hereford and Worcester', to the rear of the front free endpaper.
