Friedan remembered as feminist pioneer At funeral, family recalls feisty mother as 'mass of contradictions' Monday, February 6, 2006; Posted: 5:36 p.m. EST (22:36 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- Betty Friedan, who championed the once-radical assertion that women needed more than husbands and children to find fulfillment, was eulogized Monday as a feminist pioneer and loving mother -- if not always an easy one to live with. "I truly believe that Betty Friedan was the most influential woman, not only of the 20th century but of the second millennium," said Muriel Fox, one of the co-founders with Friedan of the National Organization for Women. Colleagues from the women's movement as well as her three children and their families were among more than 300 mourners at the funeral for Friedan, who died of congestive heart failure Saturday on her 85th birthday. (Watch: The life of an author and activist -- 2:41) Friedan's son Jonathan remembered his mother hard at work writing "The Feminine Mystique" -- the 1963 manifesto that shattered the cozy Ozzie-and-Harriet ideal of the prosperous postwar era -- while her three children bounced around their New York City apartment. Snip......... CNN (Commie Central) ______ Betty Friedan's legacy is abortion and the devastation of the American family. Don't expect the feminazis to write that in the epitaph of their unlamented founder. Communist feminist are not needed here.

I did not realize that Betty Friedan had died. What a shame you've chosen to use this opportunity to spout yet more hatred. I don't expect you, X, to embrace any of her thoughts or teachings, but I would think that you would want to show a little decorum when speaking of a woman's funeral. Shame on you.

Please forgive me, I feel so bad - you made me cry.

I wasn't trying to make you cry. I do not care if you cry, wet your pants, or spin around in a little circle until your narrow-little brain explodes with confusion.

An interesting statement. Why not of the last TWO millenia? I guess Mary, mother of Jesus, would have to take the first millenium honors.
BTW, who would you consider as the most significant woman of the second millenium, besides Ms. Friedan, of course?
For starters:
Joan of Arc
Mother Theresa
Golda Mier
Rosa Parks
Indira Ghandi
Queen Elizabeth I
Others?

I for one have no desire to hear you scream like a baby with an ear infection, so it's just as well. Besides, it echoes off your Kelly Clarkson posters.

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
