The Problem That Has No Name by Betty Friedan
5.0
Correction: The Problem that HAD no name before Betty Friedan.
An iconic and MUST read short collection of two key writings by the author of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan, an icon of the second wave of feminism.
The titular section is the first chapter of Friedan's most notable work, and poignantly sets the tone for a problem that we know full well now - the notion that a woman's identity exists independent of social constructs and is hers to determine.
It's vital that we are aware of the historical context of feminism, and continually educate ourselves on how social structures can be challenged, dismantled and reborn.
10/10 would recommend - a pleasant 1/2 a day read!
