I really like the minimalistic and modern design of this series, and I also really like the content of this particular book.
Reading Friedan's description of the housewives' situation and their feelings made me angry, but in a positive way. She is talking about the messed-up situation so rational and backs it up with facts. Friedan also adds examples from individual women which makes the reader even more emotionally invested.
I think it is a must-read for everyone.

A brilliant introduction to the work of Friedan and key feminist theory that explores 40s, 50s, and 60s America. These are two keystone essays that are contextually important, but a modern reading is hugely illuminating as to why the 50s American wife is still perpetuated as an icon of feminine virtue.
