Friedan, Betty

Friedan, Betty( 1921– ),
born in Illinois, graduated from Smith College (1942), and has been a leader of feminist activities. Her major writing, The Feminine Mystique (1963), was followed by It Changed My Life: Writings on the Women's Movement (1976) and The Second Stage (1981), calling for a restructuring of institutions and therefore of power for women. The Fountain of Age (1993) is both a celebration of wisdom and acceptance in aging and a condemnation of American's treatment of the elderly, male and female. Life So Far (2000) is a memoir.
