{"product_id":"reading-women-stephanie-staal-9781586488727","title":"Reading Women: How the Great Books of Feminism Changed My Life","description":"When Stephanie Staal first read \u003ci\u003eThe Feminine Mystique\u003c\/i\u003e in 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the banishment of Eve to Judith Butler's \u003ci\u003eGender Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Staal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1586488724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586488727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2011 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/2011","brand":"Stephanie Staal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939809001727,"sku":"9781586488727","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c52e1a65-4dce-4030-8897-181d551121be.jpg?v=1681443612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-women-stephanie-staal-9781586488727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
