About this book

Betty Friedan names the ‘problem that has no name’: the frustration of educated American women confined to domestic roles and told that fulfilment required no life beyond marriage and motherhood. Combining interviews, cultural criticism and social analysis, she exposes the institutions and ideals that produced this discontent. The Feminine Mystique became a defining text of second-wave feminism and remains central to debates about work, family, consumer culture and women’s autonomy. Originally written in English, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Abdullah Fadel.
