Four suburban housewives start a book club where their first read is Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. The book follows how their lives unfold after starting the club and after reading a book that changes their way of thinking.

The book was entertaining, the characters were well written, and the setting was believable. It has some references to american items and goods from the 60s that I had to Google, so I think it will be even more immersive for the american audience. It fits the genre and is also a typical "lost histories" book with female voices. It's an overall good book, and it fits very well into our time with everything happening to women's rights.
