Views of American Female Identity in the Sixties and Seventies

Více o knize

The book explores the feminist movement of the sixties and seventies in the U.S., highlighting Betty Friedan's advocacy for women's rights beyond traditional roles. Friedan's perspective contrasts with radical feminists, as she promotes collaboration rather than conflict with men. It also presents differing views from social scientists, who argue for traditional family roles, and women novelists, who depict women's quests for self-esteem, identity, and economic independence. This multifaceted discussion sheds light on the evolving understanding of women's roles in society.
