In "The Feminine Mystique," Betty Friedan argued that suburban women in the 1950s and 1960s were trapped in a stifling domesticity that limited their potential and fulfillment. She described the "problem that has no name," highlighting the dissatisfaction many women felt despite living in affluent households. Friedan emphasized that societal expectations confined women to roles as wives and mothers, undermining their aspirations for education, careers, and personal identity. Her work sparked a significant conversation about women's rights and paved the way for the feminist movement.
