Summary

In A Strange Stirring, Stephanie Coontz delves into the impact of Betty Friedan's landmark book, The Feminine Mystique, on American women during the 1960s. Coontz offers a compelling exploration of how Friedan’s work ignited a social revolution, challenging the traditional roles of women as housewives and mothers, and awakening a collective consciousness that spurred the women's liberation movement. Through personal anecdotes, historical analysis, and in-depth research, Coontz illustrates the profound and lasting influence of The Feminine Mystique on gender roles, feminism, and the quest for equality. This book is a must-read for those interested in understanding the cultural and social transformations of the 20th century.
