The claim The Feminine Mystique is even remotely plagiarism of The Second Sex is made by somebody who never read either book, let alone both.The two books aren't even remotely similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.53.202.228 (talk • contribs) 26 November 2005
I agree, the plagiarism claim is weird and comes at the end of a block of negative commentary. It's not neessary to repeat this claim and I will remove it. 7infinity 18:25, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I think the section referencing bell hooks is poorly presented. bell hooks is one voice of many in the controversy about whether Friedan's work addresses race and class accurately (or at all.) There were a handful of critiques of Friedan's ideas (e.g., race, class, more "personal" aspects of feminism,) and hooks is just one critic. What might work better here is to discuss second- and third- wave feminism, specifically address race issues, class issues, and varying social ideas about the role of women in life and work, and add the names of a number of critics and supporters of Friedan's ideas, not just hooks.
i am removing the reference to joan meyerowitz's work. for one thing, i had thought freidan specifically focused on white women. that could be wrong, it's been a while since i've read tfm. secondly and more importantly, meyerowitz acknowledges that stories about overcoming racism are different from stories about women who simply aren't "lazy" housewives (to quote a story she cites) that gloss over obstacles to female success. i do not think it rebuts friedan's work much if at all. i would like to see her sources if anyone knows where they can be found: http://www.teachingamericanhistory.us/lesson_plans/group_2/documeents/A1_femininemystique.pdf Uncleosbert (talk) 17:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
I did a web search for this site (mentioned at the end of the article) because I had trouble understanding how credible it was. The only mentions of it are on Wikipedia or on anti-feminist sites. I think it's important to give some sense of who raises these "questions" about Friedan's work in the article, and as to whether these are anti-feminist activists, serious academics, or both. Would it be appropriate to just remove the paragraph, or mention that it's a web site that (unlike Friedan's book itself) has not been peer-reviewed or critiqued thoroughly?
