Author of 1963 feminist manifesto The Feminine Mystique and co-founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), Betty Friedan has died at age 85.
I could take several hours writing about Friedan, but instead I'll simply say this: My life would have been very different had she not lived hers to uplift all women. Thank you, Betty.
