The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

Friedan surveyed the widespread, unspoken dissatisfaction among educated 1950s American housewives — a malaise she called the problem that has no name — and traced it to a cultural mystique insisting women could find complete fulfilment purely through domesticity and motherhood.

Drawing on interviews and psychological research, Friedan argued that this mystique actively suppressed women's intellectual and professional ambitions, and the book's publication is widely credited with helping launch the American second-wave feminist movement, despite later criticism of its narrow focus on middle-class white women.

A landmark of feminist literature, widely credited with sparking second-wave feminism.
