Betty Friedan certanly deserves to be discribed with the word honor. As a woman in the 1960s Friedan felt that women should have as much right as men. Born on February 4, 1921, she was the first of three children. Betty's father worked at a jewelry story and her mother was a stay at home mom. Before her mother was married, she was a journalist and through Betty's life encouraged her to pursue her dream of being a journalist. Betty graduated from Smith College in 1942. Like her mother she pursued her dream of being a journalist. When she married, she conintued writing. Through writing and research she published her book The Feminine Mystique which became world wide sensation! The book sparked the minds of many middle class women, because it discoraged the idea of "biology is destiny". Betty had many other occomplishments! More to come!! :)
