In 1963, Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique sparked a feminist revolution. The time has come to evaluate its legacy. Has feminism stayed true to its original nineteenth century goal of gaining fair treatment for women? If so, why do millions of women in mainstream America feel so little in common with feminism or the controversial causes it now embraces?
In Feminism: Mystique or Mistake?, Diane Passno, executive vice president at Focus on the Family, gives a candid critique of today's feminist movement and shows how it has affected every level of society. While acknowledging feminism's initial appeal for equality, she strips away the veneer of the current movement---and reveals the cost to women and their families over the past four decades. Her insightful analysis brings clarity to the confusion women often feel, sorting through the mixed messages our culture gives and revealing the liberating plan God has had for women all along.
