Betty Friedan

Betty Friedan was an activist, an author, and a woman right's advocate in America during the 1960's. She was a very important author and woman figure at the time. She wrote the book, "The Feminine Mystique" which tried to get women equal to men in the work place and society. Betty Friedan is the best reading we've gotten so far, and i found it captivating because without her, who knows where a woman's place in society would be today. However, I thought Friedan may have gotten the hopes of many women up, just to have them shot down in reality. All in all, Betty Friedan was an extremely prominent figure for woman during the 1960's and is widely famous for her novel, "The Feminine Mystique."
