Historiographie des femmes des banlieues depuis les années 1960

Betty Freidan's Feminine Mystique is told to be the book which opened the door of the second wave feminism movement in the United States of the 1960's. Flora Davis, writer of Moving the Mountain: The women's movement since the 1960 calls it" the book that changed lives". Actually, Davis tells about this book that it challenged the suburban women's life habits, some of them were angry, and other reconsidered themselves, it makes feel guilty women who would work and it makes more ambitious women who would stay at home. In short, women status changed a lot since the days they had no activities beyond their family.
The founding of the National Organization for Woman or NOW (Freidan was one of the founder) in 1966 also showed that the second wave feminism was on way, it is situated between 1960 and 1980.
