History

Historical Context

Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique," published on February 19, 1963, ignited second-wave feminism by challenging the notion that women's fulfillment lay solely in domestic roles. The book resonated with many, leading to the formation of the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966. Today, its themes continue to influence media portrayals of women, as seen in the upcoming series "Imperfect Women."
