Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. That patriarchy has been the controlling social force for centuries has effectively placed the female gender in the shadows of acceptance, while the male gender has successfully progressed in all possible areas: politics, education and economics. "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan – originally penned in the 1960s – notes that for women, these areas have long histories of restraint through design of the woman’s role; the effects of such designs have been so well entrenched that they have automatically applied to essentially every other area of public life. No additional sources cited.

Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" And Eldridge
Cleaver's "Soul On Ice"
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Comparing the postwar work of Betty Friedan to that of Eldridge Cleaver is to draw a common denominator from two seemingly divergent perspectives. While Friedan's The Feminine Mystique addresses the cultural narrow-mindedness of gender, Cleaver's account in Soul On Ice focuses upon the long-standing racial inequities that have plagued man since the beginning of time. Clearly, to compare these two works encourages the student to seek out this common denominator; at the same time, however, the
student will also want to discuss the individual characteristics pertinent only to each specific book. No additional sources cited.
