Betty Friedan Life So Far examines The Feminine Mystique roots
The interview contrasts Friedan’s life from Peoria to Smith College with her activism and marriage. She rejects leftist myths about her feminism, recalls abuse in marriage, and credits her fame for both leverage and conflict. The memoir is a chatty, intimate, and uneven exploration of her life and the early women’s movement.
