“Men weren’t really the enemy – they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.” –Betty Friedan

How she made her mark: Betty is identified as a leader in the second-wave feminist movement.  Her book The Feminine Mystique (1963) created a lot of discussion and controversy.  She founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966.
