Betty Friedan died yesterday. She wrote The Feminine Mystique in 1963, a book which wrote about the fantasy that women achieved perfect fulfilment through life as a housewife, an idea prevalent then (and still not dead). It's also a book that changed women's lives and the attitude to what a woman's life could be throughout the world.
