The Feminine Mystique is the title of a book written by the late Betty Friedan who also founded The National Organization for Women to help US women gain equal rights.

She describes the "feminine mystique” she talks about the expectations women had and the box they had to fit in even as young girls, how being an uneducated girl

In 1963, Betty Friedan, a feminist activist, wrote a book called The Feminine Mystique, which she criticized the ideal image of a woman’s role in society is to become a mother, wife, and housewife.

It’s actually a rather broad term that encompasses the end of the silent era to the late 1960’s. The 1930’s marked the inception of the sound and colour revolutions, resulting in the expansion of film genres such as gangster films, musicals, comedies, and animation/cartoon to name a few.

The Feminine Mystique revealed the identity crisis among suburban women in the 1950s to 1960s. In the middle of twentieth century, the society suggested females that the true feminine fulfillment was being good wives and mothers.

In 1963, Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique which was revolutionary for that time and exposed the “happy homemaker myth”. Ms. Friedan discussed how women “feel it’s unfeminine” to want to take an active part in society on equal footing as men. More specifically, Ms. Friedan is quoted saying, “a woman today has been made to feel freakish and alone and guilty if she wants to be more than her husband’s wife, her children’s mother, if she wants to use her abilities in society.” This feeling

notion that women were capable and deserved to be in the workforce, leading to more campaigns for rights and opportunities and women’s heightened awareness of their potential and need for change.
