Most women in her class did not work outside their homes after graduation. Friedan thought women could give a lot to society if they had another identity besides being housewives. She talked to other women across the country, met with experts about the questions and answers and combined this research with surveys and examples from her own life． The result was her book, The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963.The book attacked the popular idea of the time that women could only find satisfaction through being married, having children and taking care of their home． Friedan believed that women wanted more from life than just to please their husbands and children. The book said women suffered from feelings of lack of worth． Friedan said this was because women depended on their husbands for economic(经济的), emotional and intellectual support. The Feminine Mystique was a huge success, which has been sold more than three million of copies and reprinted in a number of other languages.
