Sample Book Insights:

#1 The American women’s movement began in the 1950s, as women began getting married in high school and the magazines began lamenting the unhappy statistics about these young marriages. They urged that courses on marriage and marriage counselors be installed in the high schools.

#2 The birthrate in the United States was overtaking that of India by the end of the 1950s. Women were becoming housewives and mothers, and were being respected as full and equal partners with their husbands in the world.

#3 The American housewife was the image of feminine fulfillment in postwar America. Millions of women lived their lives in the image of those pictures of the American suburban housewife, kissing their husbands goodbye in front of the picture window, and smiling as they ran the new electric waxer over the spotless kitchen floor.

#4 The problem that has no name was shared by countless women in America. It was a feeling of emptiness, and a sense of not existing, that some women experienced.
