A review by kaceyymair
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

I was really enjoying it but the last time I found something interesting was 50 pages ago (the bit on Freud) and I feel like there’s:

1. Too much repetition 
2. Too many testimonies and not enough criticism
3. The journalism is TOO thorough - I want to reach my own conclusions and not have Friedan’s personal rhetoric every two seconds

I just don’t see the point in reading this anymore bc I feel like I’ve gotten what I need from it and it’s just too much of a drag now.  I just prefer more stylistic or narrative work and it’s reading like a textbook now (and a very repetitive one).  But I get its influence at the time and respect it for that.
