My focus of this blog is Ella Baker and I will compare her to Betty Friedan.
One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going. -Ella Baker

All Summed up
Ella and Freiden had many things in common just like many of the people in progressive movement during their time, but I think that one most important stood out to me. Both women wanted their right to be themselves when people told them they couldn't. When others said "no" they said "yes". Though Ella worked behind the scences most of her life, she still did as much as Frieden, who everyone knew. Although Frieden fought for the rights of women and Ella the rights of colored people, both had one thing in common: They wanted freedom for their kind and their people. Because of their bravery and strength woman's rights and racial rights are differant and better then they had ever hoped.
