Rest in peace, great woman

Betty Friedan died on Saturday. I read her autobiography in 2000--Mia's mom, Carol, who was an editor with Woodrow Wilson Press (she's my proofreading connection), met her. I have a great picture of Tatiana lounging on my bed on top of the book with Betty's picture but I can't link to it (not digital). I'd like to think Betty's message was meaningful even to horrible kitties--Tatia certainly sees herself as an equal in every way to Tibby Two-Shoes.

Before the game last night they had a moment of silence for Coretta Scott King and I was thinking it would have nice to also have one for Betty Friedan. Of course, I didn't seriously expect that at The Super Bowl. I suppose you can say the Dove Commercial could have been considered a tribute to her.
