Tina Balser is a sophisticated housewife living in Manhattan who seems to have everything she could desire: money, two beautiful daughters, and a successful lawyer husband. As her fears and neuroses begin to overwhelm her, Tina starts a diary in which her sharp and humorous observations about herself and her surroundings attempt to shed light on her mundane life and uncover the roots of her dissatisfaction. Through the pages of her diary, we discover the college student who once aspired to be a painter but abandoned her career for a more conventional life, the uptight husband who has become a shadow of the man she married, and the various remedies she tries to overcome her problems. Originally published in 1967, this work is considered one of the foundational novels representing the new female consciousness that emerged in mid-20th century America. "Diary of a Mad Housewife" is a witty and intelligent narrative about the feelings of anxiety that we all face at some point in our lives.
