The Feminine Mystique

You had enough of old white men telling you how to interpret philosophy and live your life -based on the mere fact that you're a woman? Then read this book! Betty Friedan manages to capture the frustration of a whole generation of women, where 60% dropped out of college just to marry (?!) If you're eager to understand the passion that helped shape different women's movements - you start with this book - part manifesto, part social chronicle. (It's also mentioned in the movie "10 things I hate about you" which is at least as good as "The Feminist Mystique") ^^
