A man and his son were involved in a car accident. The man was killed. The man was rushed to a near-bay hospital for an emergency operation on him, that's my son." How could that be said, "I can't operate on him, that's my son." How could that be said, The answer is a simple one, yet most people do not get it right away. The doctor was his mother, Betty Friedan, for "The Feminine Mystique," says that society's attitude toward the career woman in just one small part of the "mystique." The Pommiere Wymetry presents the problems that the women had to deal with when they first published. It must be remembered that the book was a landmark in its time. It is now a treasured and important part of the library's collection. Published for the first time in 1963, Miss Frieden's book *lifted* the Women's Liberation movement. It deals with the "nameless pleasures of the *happy housewife*." By calling the housewife's frustration "the womanly burden," it treats every woman to identify with the book at one point or another. Although the book is probabilistic, it doesn't show that it was even two years ago, it is definitely the basic reader for the women's library. Her main tenet is that many women are secretly frustrated and no longer can contain frustration. Women now want something that makes them feel good. Miss Friedan presents her case reasonably well. At times she too much evidence to prove her point. She is much too wordy and it tends to make her pitch less effective. Yet, she does make her point, she makes it well. She says, "Love and children and home are good, but they are not the whole world, even if most of the words now written for women pretend they are. Why should women accept this picture of a half. Instead of a share in the whole human destiny? Why should women be more, instead of moving on the fronters of their own time, as American women moved beside their husbands on the old frontiers?" Miss Frieden's use of the rhetorical question is very effective. She winds up almost every chapter with questions that make the reader assume what she was true and leads them directly into her next chapter with amazing continuity. She says the feminine mystique is so powerful that many women grow up without realizing that they do have desires and abilities that the mystique forbids. She says that the mystique is an age-old problem that has grown worse with each generation of women. Freud is vigorously attacked as being one of the major causes of the mystique. Mine伯德朗责抱 his theory of genius-envy, a theme that he later referred to in his book *The Victorian era*. She says that it is ridiculous for American women to believe anything on a concept formed from observations of Victoria. Although Freedian psychology is a major part of the mystique Marianne says, "In the last analysis, millions of able women in this country themselves, not to use the door education could have opened for them. Their own responsibility—for the race back home was finally their own." Women choose marriage and families as any easy way out in a society that thinks that women are better off in behemoth, according to Miss Friedan. They then live through their husbands and children. The men of America should read "The Feminine Mystique" which asks them to embrace and now is the time for Miss Frieden to educate man about the feminism. GIANT BLOW-UP 2x3 ft.
