In the opening pages of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan wrote about the problem of women's dissatisfaction with traditional gender roles. She described it as a problem that had been "buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women." This problem was not about women's right to vote or discrimination in the workplace, but rather the societal pressure for women to conform to traditional domestic roles and the resulting feelings of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.
