The Feminine Mystique was a book written during the women's liberation movement by Betty Friedan. In this book, Friedan discusses the dissatisfaction and frustration of American women around the country who were college educated but were still only seen as a housewife. Friedan felt that the pressure to conform to societal norms was crushing the will/spirit of women in the US. In this book, she encourages women to seek out fulfillment and worry about their own happiness instead of trying to fit into societal norms as to how a woman should behave.
