Sixty years on and what strikes me is that we're in many ways back to what Friedan was writing about. The backlash is real. This is exactly the opposite of what Naomi Wolf says in a phone interview included in the audiobook. She claims Friedan's book is dated, because the rights were won. Yeah, right. Including that needless interview after the audiobook left a sour taste in my mouth. (Otherwise, I love Parker Posey's voice. It's a really nice listening experience). In terms of content, it is interesting that although Friedan presents a solid critique of psychoanalysis in one the chapters, she's very much on board the Freudian homophobia--and doesn't seem to think it a problem in her later afterword. I'm glad the movement has moved on. Also, the book feels simply too long. The point is driven home already by the halfway mark, so some condensation would have been welcome. Otherwise this is a great testament to the fact that the struggle never ends.
