The twentyonemillion copy bestselling novel and provocative feminist classic that changed the world when it was first published in 1977With The Womens Room, Marilyn French joined Simone de Beauvoir, Ralph Ellison, and that very small group of writers whose words spark a movement. Gloria SteinemIn the 1950s, many American women left education and professional advancement behind in order to marry, only to find themselves adrift and unable to support themselves after divorcing their husbands twenty years later. Some became destitute; a few went insane. But many went back to school in the heyday of the Womens Liberation movement, and were swept up in the promise of equality for both sexes.The Womens Room tells the story of one such woman: a suburban 1950s housewife named Mira who divorces her loathsome husband and returns to graduate school at Harvard. Loosely based on Marilyn Frenchs own life, the story of Mira and her friends offers wry, piercing insight into the inner lives of a generation of American women. A powerful indictment of the patriarchal social norms of the time, it caused an uproar when it was first published in 1977, changing the course of the feminist movement forever. Today, it remains timely and eerily relevanta courageous novel infused with revolutionary fervor that examines the world of hopeful believers looking for new truths.
