The author of The Feminine Mystique died yesterday, on her birthday, at 85 years old.
I have not read her book, and, honestly, I think my most direct contact with it is the scene in Ten Things I Hate About You when Kat throws it at Patrick in the bookshop, but there is little doubt Friedan's thoughts and words have affected us all deeply, and I think immeasurably for the better. And perhaps today we do need to go back for some fresh ideas to Friedan's book.
