A Catholic-aligned counterpart to Betty Friedan's contemporary The Feminine Mystique, Sidney Cornelia Callahan searches for middle ground between the oudated, often sexist ideals of the church and the ideals of 1960's feminism, occasionally at odds with the Catholic faith. Callahan explores ways for the Catholic feminist to maintain her religious identity without compromising her role as a modern woman.
