Another example of "the problem that has no name" was Betty Friedan's book, The Feminine Mystique, in 1963. Friedan described middle-class homemakers' discontent in the United States during the 1950s to 1960s. Friedan was able to highlight the structural oppression experienced by homemakers. Despite their basic needs being met, they could take control of their lives due to society’s limits on their reproduction.

Women participating in cheap labor must take an additional burden of child-rearing. Women suffer from the adverse health effects of global warming, industrialization, and expanding urbanization, which directly affect the pursuit of growth. Backyard farmers suffer from competition with giant food corporations, and the national government supports the entry of global, multinational corporations into their territories.
When industrialization peaked, and cheap labor was needed to address growing worker demands, women were made to fill the gap. Women are expected to produce and raise the future workforce for industries with the double burden of child-rearing and income generation.

Today, food is controlled by a few large corporations that value profit over ecology. Big companies plant on large farms where the ton will grow their crops. They use massive machinery that pumps large amounts of chemicals. This is advantageous to big companies because: They get a supply in size and shape that they can process in large volumes efficiently; Producing this way provides a cheap supply because it can be farmed in mass production. This allows a big company to earn more. After all, they are the primary buyers of most farmers; thus, they can dictate the buying price to the farmers. This factory farming system allows other multinational corporations to earn more money by producing and selling the inputs required by the seeds.
