The Feminine Mystique...a question

[blueraven95]

I'm reading "The Feminine Mystique" and I was wondering if any of the people on here can tell me what the public reaction to the book was like when it was published. So much of the book is about the history of the women's rights movement, but what I'm finding is that I'm most interested in the history immediately after the book was published and I only have the most vague ideas about how it affected society. (Ironic, since in college I took classes on US History through Political Protest, The 1960's, 20th Century American History, etc.) So, I'm wondering what your stories are about the book and how it did or did not change lives.
