The twenty-one-million copy bestseller-available again for a
new generation of readers Originally published in 1977, The
Women's Room was a novel that-for the first time-expressed
the inner lives of women who left education and professional
advancement behind to marry in the 1950s, only to find
themselves adrift and unable to support themselves after
divorce in the 1970s. Some became destitute, a few went
insane. But many went back to school in the heyday of the
Women's Liberation movement, and were swept up in the
promise of equality for both sexes. Marilyn French's
characters represent this wide cross section of American
women, and her wry and pointed voice gives depth and
emotional intensity to this timeless book that remains
controversial and completely relevant.
