We are sharing a special episode from our friends at the podcast History Daily, which releases daily episodes on interesting historical events that happened on that day. In this episode, host Lindsay Graham discusses Betty Friedan’s seminal work "The Feminist Mystique", published on February 19th, 1963. "The Feminist Mystique", which spoke to widespread discontent amongst American women confined to the domestic sphere, kickstarted the second-wave feminist movement. After conducting her own extensive interviews and research, Friedan expressed the frustration and restlessness many American women were secretly harboring inside. In doing so, Friedan advocated for women’s inherent right to pursue a life and career of their own, and not be limited to domesticity. "The Feminist Mystique" inspired women across the country to go back to school, return to the work force, and find value in their lives outside of being wives and mothers. Friedan deserves to be honored as an important figure of American history, whose work continues to positively impact women today.
