A Strange Stirring
- Synopsis
-
Author and history professor Coontz revisits Friedan's seminal work through two avenues: by discussing the book's effect with women who read it in the 1960s, and by moving beyond Friedan's primary audience to bring women of color and women of a lower economic class into the discussion of motherhood and domesticity. Coontz offers an evenhanded history of the feminist movement from 1920-1960, as well as personal accounts of women whose lives were affected by Friedan's work--or weren't, as the case may have been for African Americans and others.
