CNN.com - Betty Friedan, philosopher of modern-day feminism, dies - Feb 4, 2006: "Friedan's assertion in her 1963 best seller that having a husband and babies was not everything and that women should aspire to separate identities as individuals."
"A woman has got to be able to say, and not feel guilty, `Who am I, and what do I want out of life?' She mustn't feel selfish and neurotic if she wants goals of her own, outside of husband and children."
According to CNN.com Friedan, "laid the groundwork for the modern feminist movement."
Would she be and was she proud of the modern feminist movement that denigrates women that choose family and children?
"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05
