"The problem with no name" refers to the sense of dissatisfaction and emptiness experienced by many suburban American women in the 1950s and 60s. This feeling arose from the lack of fulfillment they experienced from being solely devoted to their roles as wives and mothers, and not having meaningful careers or a sense of personal accomplishment outside of the home. The term reflects the fact that, at the time, this problem was not yet widely recognized or discussed in society.
