| Summary: | In the mid-1960s, Betty Friedan published a crimson-covered book entitled The Feminine Mystique which presented a new way of conceiving femininity, as it went beyond psychoanalytical interpretations and anticipated the theories of performativity of the 1990s. This work became a paradigm for contemporary feminism as it incited women to abandon their fear of freedom, to grow completely, and to leave behind that state of being permanently subject to the will of men. Thanks to Friedan, many women began to understand the importance of resignifying themselves and defining their own identity not only as women, but also as complete individuals. |
