The Stepford Wives (1972)

Joanna Eberhart moves with her husband and two children to the idyllic town of Stepford, Connecticut, where the women are impossibly beautiful, submissive, and devoted to housework. As Joanna befriends another newcomer who shares her feminist outlook, they begin to uncover the chilling truth behind the town's eerily perfect wives. Ira Levin's darkly satirical thriller is a landmark of feminist horror fiction that coined the cultural term "Stepford wife."
