Sex. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2010. Print.

This book was very influential during the 1950s, written by French existentialist Simone de Beauvoir. This book discusses the treatment of women throughout history, and is usually referred to as a starting point to second-wave feminism and began a lot of feminist philosophy. I read some of this book not necessarily for facts and information, but to understand her philosophy, which changed many women’s lives during the Women’s Liberation Movement, and to understand the brutal oppression women were done dealing with.

Friedan, Betty. The Feminine Mystique. New York: W.W. Norton, 1963. Print.

This influential book by Betty Friedan sparked second-wave feminism in the United States.

This book gave me lots of direct information from oppressed women in the 1960s, which I found very useful.
