"The Feminine Mystique" was a book written by Betty Friedan and published in 1963. It looks at the lives of housewives during that time period, and examines the widespread unhappiness of these women despite being surrounded by material comfort and familial love. It is credited with starting the second-wave feminist movement in the United States.
