Comments on the quotations below...
I think they stand for themselves a bit. As you can tell, I’m reading The Feminine Mystique. I was never asked to read it before, believe it or not, and I think now’s the time. Sure, some of the stuff is dated. Sure, in her introduction from 1973, she states that in ten year’s time, women had already changed their attitudes completely, seeing the “their place on a false pedestal, even their glorification as sexual objects, for the putdown it was.”
We haven’t done that in 2009, how could she have claimed that in 1973?
To coin a phrase, this has happened before and it will happen again. I will be entering in all of the Friedan quotes that shock me out of my chair and to this computer…oh wait, I have another.
