About this title

Synopsis

This book is, without question, the most valuable work around for those who pursue an interest in a serious, systematic way. Completely revised and updated by the author, the handbook points to resources, organizations, and people, and helps the reader to understand the development and use of such expertise.

Excerpt. � Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

When I asked Betty Friedan what overall lesson or moral she would draw for independent scholars from these experiences in conceiving, researching, and writing The Feminine Mystique, she said:

It probably has something to do with becoming intellectually autonomous not uncommonly....We free-lancers, for that's what many of us are, have to structure a growth pattern for ourselves-we can't just settle into a professorial "role" that's already there, provided by an institution. In many cases we have to innovate, to find something truly new and important, if we want to interest editors and readers, and command a following. No one pays much for rehashed, dull, or derivative writing-unlike the recognition which such stuff can command in academe.
