Diario de un ama de casa desquiciada

Tina Balser is a sophisticated housewife living in Manhattan who seems to have everything she could wish for: money, two beautiful daughters, and a husband who is a successful lawyer. When her fears and neuroses begin to overwhelm her, Tina starts a diary in which, through her sharp and hilarious observations about herself and her surroundings, she tries to shed some light on her boring life and uncover the causes of her dissatisfaction. Through the pages of her diary, we discover the college student who once aspired to be a painter but gave up her career for a more conventional life, the stiff husband into whom the man she married has transformed, and the various remedies she attempts to overcome her problems. This work was originally published in 1967 and is considered one of the foundational and most representative novels of the new female consciousness that emerged in the United States in the mid-20th century. Diary of a Mad Housewife is a witty and intelligent tale about the feeling of anguish that we all face at some point in our lives.
