The Problem That Has No Name by Betty Friedan
The Feminine Mystique
This influential work delves into the pervasive sense of dissatisfaction experienced by many American housewives in the mid-20th century, despite living in material comfort and fulfilling traditional roles. It explores how societal expectations and the limited opportunities available to women contributed to a widespread feeling of unfulfillment and identity loss. Through interviews and research, the book highlights the psychological and emotional struggles faced by women who were confined to domestic life, sparking a broader conversation about gender roles and the need for greater opportunities for women in society.
