- Femmes, Conditions sociales, Discrimination à l'égard des femmes, Histoire et Condition Sociale
Landmark, groundbreaking, classic―these adjectives barely do justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine Mystique. Published in 1963, it gave a pitch-perfect description of “the problem that has no name”: the insidious beliefs and institutions that undermined women’s confidence in their intellectual capabilities and kept them in the home.

“The problem lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women.”
Friedan graduated summa cum laude from Smith College and had begun graduate study in psychology at the University of California when she transferred her energies toward political activism, the cause of women's rights, and eventually publishing such works as The Feminine Mystique (1963), informed by her critique of Freudian theory. - [*Smithsonian Institution on Flickr Commons*][1] [1]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/smithsonian/3359714530/
