“The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own. There is no other way.”

• Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique (1963)

Freidan identified the “problem that has no name”, the deep sense of dissatisfaction felt by women whom were confined to the domestic sphere, and championed their entry into the professional workforce to achieve personhood.
