Reading Women: How the Great Books of Feminism Changed My Life
Autor Stephanie Staalen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 feb 2011
When
Stephanie
Staal
first
readThe
Feminine
Mystiquein
college,
she
found
it
“a
mildly
interesting
relic
from
another
era.”
But
more
than
a
decade
later,
as
a
married
stay-at-home
mom
in
the
suburbs,
Staal
rediscovered
Betty
Friedan's
classic
work—and
was
surprised
how
much
she
identified
with
the
laments
and
misgivings
of
1950s
housewives.
She
set
out
on
a
quest:
to
reenroll
at
Barnard
and
re-read
the
great
books
she
had
first
encountered
as
an
undergrad.
From
the
banishment
of
Eve
to
Judith
Butler'sGender
Trouble,
Staal
explores
the
significance
of
each
of
these
classic
tales
by
and
of
women,
highlighting
the
relevance
these
ideas
still
have
today.
This
process
leads
Staal
to
find
the
self
she
thought
she
had
lost—curious
and
ambitious,
zany
and
critical—and
inspires
new
understandings
of
her
relationships
with
her
husband,
her
mother,
and
her
daughter.

Recenzii

Courtney
Sullivan
“If you could enroll in your favorite Women’s Studies class again ten years after graduation, armed with everything you know about the complexities and compromises of adult life, what would you make of the feminist ideals you once held dear? That’s exactly what Staal endeavors to find out in this brave and compelling book, which is one part memoir, one part astute literary analysis. As she struggles to make sense of love, life, marriage, and motherhood on her own terms, the author traces the history of women’s words over centuries—from Mary Wollstonecraft and Virginia Woolf to Erica Jong and Katie Roiphe. I cherished every page.”

“Reading
Womenis
terrific.
Stephanie
Staal’s
exploration
of
the
great
texts
of
the
women
who
have
walked
before
us
is
fresh,
funny,
and
a
wise
reminder
that
now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
feed
the
feminist
within.”

“Intimate in its reflections and keenly perceptive on a larger scale, Staal’s erudite literary memoir refreshingly embraces women’s eternal quest for self-knowledge.”
