Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan refers to "the problem with no name" as the widespread dissatisfaction, restlessness, and lack of fulfillment experienced by many educated, middle-class suburban housewives in the 1950s and early 1960s, who were expected to find complete fulfillment in a life devoted solely to marriage and motherhood. This feeling of emptiness was a result of the limited opportunity for personal or intellectual growth, and the lack of outlets for their talents, ambition, and creativity.
