The article presents information on the book "Young, White, and Miserable: Growing Up Female in the Fifties," by Wini Breines. A sociologist and member of the New Left, Breines wanted to understand how safe and suburban girls brought up in the conformist fifties became key actors in the rebellious generation that organized a mass women's movement and proliferated completely different possible life stories for women. In a brilliant framing device, Breines's best stroke is that she begins and ends her exploration with the characters of the book.
