Betty Friedan, author, activist, and champion for women’s rights, was both a powerful and polarizing figure. As a journalist covering racism, sexism, and antisemitism, and later as the author of the groundbreaking work The Feminine Mystique and co-founder of the National Organization of Women, Friedan fought for important protections for women, including the Equal Rights Amendment, workplace protections for mothers, and more, but she disagreed with key aspects of the women’s liberation movement and her public conflicts fractured some key relationships. Author Rachel Shteir presents a nuanced portrait of Friedan’s life, including how Friedan’s Judaism was essential to her feminism, and how her work leaves a lasting legacy.
