Betty Friedan, author, activist, feminist and extraordinary woman, died yesterday at the age of 85. Have any of you ever read The Feminist Mystique? It’s been on my list forever, but I’ve never managed to find the time. Maybe this is the year to read it, in honor of Betty. May thousands of us continue to carry the torch she held aloft for so long.
