![]() ![]() ![]() To re-create the scene, I dug up a few snap judgments from critics, published just after the first edition of The Feminine Mystique arrived in 1963. The Feminine Mystique, in other words, didn't enter the world as the long-awaited wonder we remember it as today. That last guy probably has a few regrets. Some detractors said it was too alarmist, others said it was too complacent-and one even complained that Friedan went too far in asserting that average girl wouldn't rather be at home putting cream on her face. While many book critics immediately recognized the potential in Friedan's book when it was released in 1963, some remained skeptical. In truth, The Feminine Mystique's 50-year shelf life got off to a somewhat rocky start. 'Anger Boiled Up, and Betty Friedan Was There': 'Feminine Mystique' at 50īut none of those things happened right away. ![]()

The bakery looked much as it had when she'd first seen it. Seraph crossed the bridge, skirted the few people tending animals, and headed for the steps of the steep road that zigzagged its way up the mountain face, edged with stone buildings. The rich hues of new wood contrasted with the greys of the village, but, to her, that seemed to be merely an accent to the harmony of stone buildings and craggy mountain. Even after twenty years, the sight still impressed her.įrom where she stood, the new temple at the very top of the village rose like a falcon over its prey. She glanced across the river and up the mountainside where Redern hung, terraced like some ancient giant's stone garden. When Seraph reached the narrow bridge, the river was high and the wooden walkway was slick with cold water from the spring runoff. ![]() ![]() ![]() Situated in the heart of Asia Minor, it occupies the greater part of that mountainous region which extends between the Black Sea and the steppes of Mesopotamia on one side, and the Anti-Taurus range and the Iranian plateau, on the other. Kurdistan forms the backbone of the Middle East. On the other hand, the map indicates in Iran a western province, which is far from containing all the Kurds, even those of Iran. Today, officially, it no longer figures on maps printed in Turkey, although it did appear during the time of the Ottoman Empire. This name, in the course of centuries, has been given to those areas, more or less extensive, which have altered from epoch to epoch. A land without frontiers, Kurdistan is, it goes without saying, that country inhabited by the Kurds. ![]() ![]() ![]() And if, for some reason, a book doesn't entertain me or I don't finish it, I won't leave a rating or review at all. ![]() As long as a story takes me to another place and is well edited, I'm going to give it a good rating. ![]() Every writer's voice is individual and unique I've come to respect this truth during my own personal journey.

Not big enough for her whole foot to go in, but definitely big enough to trip her if she forgot it was there. Next to her hand on the floor was a smaller hole, maybe six inches across. The ceiling was also metal, with a hole in the centre that was roughly a metre and a half across. She couldn’t see the walls very well because the light didn’t reach that far, but light glinted off bolts and seams, which made her think they were metal too. The floor was metal, which explained why it had made that noise when she’d hit it. She managed to get onto her knees and looked around. The room she was in was dark, almost pitch black, the only light coming from reflections from the room above, refracting around the room from the space immediately below the hole she’d fallen through. She groaned and rolled onto her hands, trying to get her stunned back to co-operate enough to get on all fours, or sit up, maybe even stand. The pain wasn’t sharp enough for a break, but she wouldn’t be surprised if she’d dented something. Judging by how quickly the floor had risen up to meet her now aching shoulder, she’d fallen a little less than a storey. ![]() ![]() Sword Art Online: Progressive - Barcarolle of Froth It was serialised in Dengeki G's Magazine and released under the Dengeki Comics NEXT imprint from February 2014.
