Betty Friedan was one of the first to emerge in the late 1960s along with Gloria Stienem to begin challenging the male dominated society we used to live in.
When I was a young boy, everyone considered the idea of women doctors or lawyers a joke. TV sitcoms laughed at the idea. Today there are anti-feminists female writers and pundits who refer to these women as “femi-nazis” and blame much of societies problems on them. Yet these women would not have their jobs if it weren’t for these feminists. Right-wing shit-head women, such as Ann Coulter would not have their jobs without the feminists movement. Yet few women have bashed it harder than Coulter.
According to the USATODAY:
“WASHINGTON (AP) — Betty Friedan, whose manifesto The Feminine Mystique became a best seller in the 1960s and laid the groundwork for the modern feminist movement, died Saturday, her birthday. She was 85.”
