"Betty Friedan":http://www.born-today.com/Today/pix/friedan_b.jpg "died Saturday":http://www.now.org/press/02-06/02-04.html on her 85th birthday.

I didn't know her, but I loved her.

My tribute:
Summers in college I worked as a "camp counselor.":http://www.campnashoba.com

One week during the summer was "Decades Week." Each day is dedicated to a decade, and you dress in decade-appropriate costumes on that day. Most people wore poodle skirts, bell bottoms, Afros, etc.

I had "Feminism through the Ages Week". I went as Rosie the Riveter (bandanna), Simone de Beauvoir (beret), Betty Friedan (carried The Feminine Mystique), Gloria Steinem (giant glasses), and Naomi Wolf (red lipstick).

I am a feminist geek. But more people should be.
