The person interested in this topic may want to check out an article on Betty
Friedan in the most recent American Quarterly, by Daniel Horowitz of Smith
College. I haven't seen it and only know it from an article about it that
appears in this week's Chronicle of Higher Education. The Chronicle says that
the article is "likely to provoke debate" as a result of its effort to portray
Friedan not as a dissatified homemaker who turned her back on domesticity,
thereby serving as an icon for early 60's feminism, but rather as having been
socially committed much earlier in her life and career.
