The Feminine Mystique | Betty Friedan

I underlined hundreds of parts because 1963-2025 hasn't solved gender equality progress. There are several sections that talk about how woman lose themselves to drink or food when all the household work is done and the kids are at school and they are restless in not knowing what to do since they left school to become wives & mothers. How technology would fit into these narratives. would they make it worse, or offer more opportunities?

Braved the cold in Memphis today to check out South Main Book Juggler and I‘m glad I did. I found a copy of the tagged book and the owner was kind enough to recommend The Book Club for Troublesome Women to me. She shared with me that she‘s currently reading the books in tandem and I thought that sounded like a wonderful idea myself.

Oh Betty. When you‘re wrong, you‘re REALLY wrong. I so wish she had been right about this.

This book looks at the old matriarchal societies, differing greatly from the ones we live in today. Once, women ruled. They had many rights and were not only respected but looked to for guidance on the deepest matters of life. They played every role in a community. Today, we have fallen far from the relationship we once had with nature, the living worlds around us. The book examines the demonization of women and its parallels to the⬇️

Thatbooknerd abandoned relationship with nature, and the destructive path we have set for ourselves in a world now owned by billionaires and theocrats with wendigo energy. An old book but an important one for our times. 2mo

I'm not much into horror movies or stories, but I'll read a few a of these short stories written by female authors. Included here are some by authors not usually associated with the horror genre, such as Louisa May Alcott and Edith Wharton.

Someone recommended this book to me years ago. Reading it now, it saddened me when the different chapters presented an imagined circle of women surrounding me, to help me through each new stage of my life. (Growing up within a fundamentalist household, I didn‘t have this). What if? My life might have turned out very different. Maybe someday, we will finally break free from patriarchal hold. Until then, (and always), love the women⬇️

Thatbooknerd in your life unconditionally. We need each other. We won‘t make it if we are not holding each other in love. 3mo
Chrissyreadit Yes- so true! I am sorry you have not had that circle - and sorry that most of us have only had modified circles. I am so glad you tagged me in this❤️ Do you have any women positive groups you do? I know claiming my witchy pagan self has been one of my steps… 3mo
Thatbooknerd @Chrissyreadit not now, but I hope to soon. 3mo

I loved some of these graphic stories about women—those being about Bolivia, Vietnam, and Peru. The latter two being beautifully told stories about women‘s experiences. The Bolivian story was difficult to understand at first, lacking depth. But the rest of the story was powerful—about women becoming economically independent. I didn‘t understand the first two stories. The graphics and font made the last one hard to grasp. Still recommended. ⬇️

Texreader Reading the ebook on my phone most likely contributed to my difficulties. I would love to learn more about the Bolivian women‘s movement. And it‘s a shame it came to an end. #foodandlit #Bolivia @Catsandbooks And thanks @TheBookHippie for the recommendation! 4mo
TheBookHippie @Texreader I‘m seriously considering buying the book. I too want to learn more. 4mo
TheBookHippie Making sure you got the addresses 😊 4mo

This book built me up. It confirmed so many of the inklings I‘ve been having about roads to gender equality.

10/10
