As in so many matters sexual--and there's almost always a sex element in VTV, right down to the syndicated candid-camera dating show Blind Date--there is a divide between those who will accept any act between consenting adults and those who will not.

With the publication of her sixth book, Life So Far: A Memoir (Simon & Schuster; 399 pages), Friedan gives us the fullest, most candid account of her experience in the vortex of that revolution, and the toll it took on her personal life. She writes with poignant honesty of her loneliness growing up Jewish in Peoria, Ill. ("Mostly, my mother made me feel bad about myself"); her fascination with communism after graduating from Smith College; and the strain of her 22-year marriage to Carl Friedan. After the success of The Feminine Mystique, her husband, who had originally encouraged her research...
