I believe the answer is: the feminine mystique

The term the feminine mystique is coined during the second wave feminism in 1950s. With this term, Friedan challenge the notation that popular in society at that time which stated that the sense of fulfillment that a woman could only achieve in her life is the fulfillment from raising children and taking care of her husband.
