S10 | E1: A Woman's Place c.1963 | Book Club for Troublesome Women | p.1-50
It's 1963, and Margaret — the perfect housewife — has decided she wants more. Step one: start a book club. Step two: dust off her essay writing. And with the influence of her bold new friend Charlotte, the club lands on a controversial first read: The Feminine Mystique. Suddenly, a group of suburban housewives are questioning their role in the world.
