Friedan showed us that gender justice is never separate from the fight for human rights. Her legacy reminds us: history is the ground we stand on — and equity is the future we must build. #BettyFriedan #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth #TheFeminineMystique
Excellent biographies of Mel Brooks, Betty Friedan, Norman Mailer and Leonard Bernstein. As with some memoirs this is not a quick read and might feel repetitive at times, well worth reading. #EminentJews #DavidDenby #MelBrooks #BettyFriedan #NormanMailer #LeonardBerstein #biography #biographies
Betty Friedan (1921–2006)
Betty Friedan (1921–2006) ignited a movement with The Feminine Mystique, challenging societal norms and sparking second-wave feminism. A founder of NOW, she fought for women’s equality in work, law, and life. Her legacy still drives progress. #WomensHistory #BettyFriedan
“She was, after all, an American woman, an irreversible product of a culture that stops just short of giving her a separate identity. He was, after all an American man whose respect for individuality and freedom of choice are his nations’s pride.”

"Grateful letters poured in from women readers. Critics, mostly but not merely male, spluttered that she was a danger to the state and a proof of the folly of sending girls to college."

Lavender Menace
"The Feminine Mystique" was published #OnThisDay in 1963 but #BettyFriedan warned of the 'lavender menace' & her homophobic fear & hatred of lesbians really discredits her Second Wave #feminism; real feminism is #lesbian- & #transgender-inclusive~!
