With a 4.7-star rating and inclusion in a curated collection of influential modern works, this book remains essential reading for those interested in gender studies, cultural critique, and social history. ## Description 'What if she isn't happy - does she think men are happy in this world? Doesn't she know how lucky she is to be a woman?' The pioneering Betty Friedan here identifies the strange problem plaguing American housewives, and examines the malignant role advertising plays in perpetuating the myth of the 'happy housewife heroine'. Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space. Review: Value for money! - Arrived on time and value for money! Review: Important arguments and readable style. - I do like how she writes, particularly in the first of these two essays. She was such an important figure in 1960/70s feminism as she explores the rise of women's rights and where it suddenly stalled in the face of consumerism and the stereotypical ideals of the perfect American dream. A generation (or more) of women caught in a trap of idealised femininity and family, confused, anxious and needing something more. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 312,625 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 163 Reviews | ## Images ![The Problem that Has No Name: Betty Friedan (Penguin Modern) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61g7seP3FUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money! *by E***S on 16 December 2019* Arrived on time and value for money! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important arguments and readable style. *by W***F on 15 June 2020* I do like how she writes, particularly in the first of these two essays.

Freidan makes some great arguments and has a persuasive writing style, so I enjoyed this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/62132461-the-problem-that-has-no-name-betty-friedan-penguin-modern](https://www.desertcart.be/products/62132461-the-problem-that-has-no-name-betty-friedan-penguin-modern) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
