{"product_id":"9780743299862","title":"Life So Far","description":"By: Betty Friedan     \u003chr\u003eIt was Betty Freidan herself, in \u003ci\u003eLife So Far, who spoke about her life and career and told us what it was all like from \u003c\/i\u003ethe inside. With the unsparing frankness that made \u003ci\u003eThe Feminine Mystique\u003c\/i\u003e one of the most influential books of the century, Friedan looked back and told us what it took, and what it cost, to change the world. She took us on an intimate journey through her life, from her lonely childhood to the founding of NOW and her brilliant, contentious, and brave leadership of the Movement. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLife So Far\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the secret underground of women in Washington in the early sixties who drafted Friedan to spearhead an \"NAACP\" for women, and the daring of many who spoke out against discrimination. Friedan recounts the political infighting and dirty tricks that occurred within the Movement as well as the forces that tried to destroy it and how hard she fought to keep the Movement practical and free of extremism, including \"man-hating.\" Friedan is equally frank about her twenty-two-year marriage to an advertising entrepreneur, which deteriorated into physical abuse. They later reconciled as friends. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLife So Far\u003c\/i\u003e is forthright, full of stories and larger-than-life characters, and it is the scope of Friedan's vision and achievements that makes her memoir so important and compelling.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46737167352035,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743299862","price":164.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_9ce44ea4-0205-4790-8723-3d88c7475040.jpg?v=1750428656","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9780743299862","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
