A new portrait of Betty Friedan, the author and activist acclaimed as the mother of second-wave feminism. The path-breaking author of The Feminine Mystique, was powerful and polarizing. In this biography, Rachel Shteir draws on Friedan’s papers and on interviews with family, friends and rivals to create a nuanced portrait. Using her influence, Friedan co-founded the National Organization for Women, the National Women’s Political Caucus and the National Association to Repeal Abortion Laws. Shteir considers how Friedan’s Judaism was essential to her feminism, presenting a new Friedan for a new era. Proud partner of the Jewish Book Council.
