The Book Club for Troublesome Women

Sarah and Cynthia discuss the novel The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick. It is the early 1960's and four very different women in a DC suburb come together to discuss The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan. Perhaps "The Bettys" as they come to call themselves will take some of the books messages to heart and life. Listen in and decide if you want to add it to your summer reading list. Along with their discussions, "The Bettys" enjoy a cocktail - or two. We tried one of their favorites: The Vodka Stinger.2 parts vodka1 part Creme de Menthe(we added a drop or two of green food coloring)Mix over ice in a cocktail shaker and serve in a chilled martini glass.Listen in to the episode to get the mocktail recipe.
