Overview
When Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique in 1963, the book exploded into womenās consciousness. Before the decade was out, what had begun as a campaign for womenās civil rights transformed into a diverse and revolutionary movement for freedom and social justice that challenged many aspects of everyday life long accepted as fixed: work, birth control and abortion, childcare and housework, gender, class, and race, art and literature, sexuality and identity, rape and domestic violence, sexual harassment, pornography, and more. This was the womenās liberation movement, and writingāpowerful, personal, and propheticāwas its beating heart.Ā
Fifty years on, in the age of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, this visionary and radical writing is as relevant and urgently needed as ever, ready to inspire a new generation of feminists. Activists and writers Alix Kates Shulman and Honor Moore have gathered an unprecedented collection of worksāmany long out-of-print and hard to findāthat catalyzed and propelled the womenās liberation movement. Ranging from Friedanās Feminine Mystique to Backlash, Susan Faludiās Reagan-era requiem, and framed by Shulman and Moore with an introduction and headnotes that provide historical and personal context, the anthology reveals the crucial role of Black feminists and other women of color in a decades long mass movement that not only brought about fundamental changes in American lifeāchanges too often taken for granted todayābut envisioned a thoroughgoing revolution in society and consciousness still to be achieved.
