Friedan's very influential 1963 book was called "The Feminine Mystique". In it, she described the problem that many American middle-class women faced in the 1950's: a feeling of unhappiness, in spite of relatively pleasant and well-off lives they had. This feeling, which was becoming ever more pervasive among women, was a consequence of their position of housewives, constrained to their roles of wives and mothers. Women suffered from it because they felt obliged and compelled to give up their careers and personal dreams in order to become good wives and mothers. They couldn't even talk about it, for fear of being exposed. They often gave up their education and jobs out of fear that a successful and independent woman would repel men.

The constant presence of diseases or infectious agents within a given geographic area or population group. it may also refer to the usual prevalence of a given disease with such area or group. it includes holoendemic and hyperendemic diseases. a holoendemic disease is one for which a high prevalent level of infection begins early in life and affects most of the child population, leading to a state of equilibrium such that the adult population shows evidence of the disease much less commonly than do children (malaria in many communities is a holoendemic disease). a hyperendemic disease is one that is constantly present at a high incidence and/or prevalence rate and affects all groups equally. so probably family history.
