People believed in the ideal picture of a perfect family with loads of children living in a perfect house preferably somewhere in the suburb in a nice neighborhood and enjoying a certain wealth. In this picture the woman's occupation was ''housewife'' and she was expected to lead the perfect household. This new cult of domesticity developed a new ideology about home, family and work- therefore also a new ideal of womanhood. At that time women were taught by magazines and television shows how to act and how to be a good woman, mother and wife.
Friedan describes that these values of domesticity were assigned to women by society and gave them their identity. This meant a cultural revolution to the people, which contrasted with the technological revolution that took place during the 's. For the first time in history devices such as a television or a fridge were affordable to everybody.
Successful life was desirable and free time was used to socialize with other people on occasions like housewarming or tea parties. However the huge problem of this ''idyll'' was that women had no possibility to develop their own personality, could not be themselves, felt alone and empty and not worth anything because their roles were predetermined.

The woman was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: This resulted in the total loss of individuality-women were no longer ''women'' but ''mothers'' and ''wives''. Women could not get together in order to talk about this ''Problem'' that gave their lives no fulfillment and most notably they could not name it, as we learn from the title of the text. In society there was no room to discuss these problems, especially since women did not even know what it exactly was that made them feel so discontent.
It was seen as women's fault because there was no logical way to make sense that somebody in this situation, who can afford to stay home, can be unhappy. Friedan's final message in her text is that, after women have fought for equal rights such as the right to vote, the right to own property and the right to education, staying at home is a disgrace.
She believes it means a step back in the evolution of feminism, which in her opinion is not an achievement. The concept of ''At Home'' is a very different one in Virginia Woolf's ''A Room of One's Own'' due to the fact that she describes the prerequisites of a home for a female author. In the title the main message can already be encountered. The difference to other women is, that they normally run the entire household and do not have their own room, although the house is their ''working place''. This privilege to have an own room and lock all the others away with a key was only granted to men.

This privilege to have an own room and lock all the others away with a key was only granted to men. For her this freedom is essential for the act of writing and she explains that a female writer needs enough money to ''think about a metaphor for a whole day'' Woolf: She states that women are able to produce creative work as effectively as men, if they had the same opportunities.
