| In this picture, Betty Friedan is shown with Gloria Steinem in August 1977 signing an “ERAgram” asking President Jimmy Carter to support the Equal Rights Amendment. Friedan’s best-selling book The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, promoted the idea that women could find happiness in a career outside of the family. Friedan became a leader in the women's movement, and in 1966 she founded the National Organization for Women (NOW), which continues to advocate equality and freedom for women. | ||||||
