Young, White, and Miserable - Growing Up Female in the Fifties

Summary

This study shows how the feminist movement of the 1960s first found momentum in the seemingly peaceable time of the 1950s. It explores white middle class America and argues that mixed messages given to girls during this decade lent fuel to the fire that would later become known as feminism.
