Talk:Betty Friedan

message: I, but it'll be hard to keep it NPOV... I'm also a little dismayed that it doesn't mention her work with labor unions. That tends to get overlooked because she's so often portrayed as the epitome of bourgeoise feminism, so I think it's important for it to be concluded. I'll do some research on it and see what I can find. Leyanese 15:46, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: While the accusations of wife-beating were in the news, Carl Friedan wrote numerous letters to editors, giving his side of the story.  He also set up a website, www.carlfriedan.com, which contains all the letters that were published (with full citation details), as well as lots more information.  The web site is now gone, but snippets of it can be found at various other places on the web, e.g. http://www.fathersforlife.org/feminism/truth_a_la_friedan.htm.  The original web site is in the archive, e.g. 
Articles can be selected from there for citation.  (This is what I just did with the NY Post quotation.)

message: The second paragraph of the gay/lesbian controversy does not seem to be in proper encyclopedia format; it is told dramatically, like a story, and it may be just me but it feels slightly biased. Can somebody who is good at identifying proper style and neutrality look at it? --Queenrani 02:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I could not find any source for this quote on "breast usage" on Google, save for pierretristam.com. Should we delete it? SuperGerbil 23:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The pierretristam.com source () says that it is from a speech called "Crisis in Women's Identity" in San Francisco in 1964. It looks like this speech is in a collection of Friedan's works called It Changed My Life, so it should be relatively easy to see whether or not the quoted line was in the speech. In my opinion, this makes it verifiable and it should be left in the article unless someone looks at the speech and finds it missing. Mike Dillon 03:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I took a first shot at cleaning up the Influence section (which was reading like it was extracted from a term paper) but it still needs a lot work. most of the section is not addressing the influence of Friedan's life and work, but the people who wrote books about her.

thread_title: Influence section

message: I'm editing the lead's sentence that has been tagged with the Citation Needed template to conform the sentence to what the body already says with a citation. Since this article's lead does not have citations, I'm deleting the template and not replacing it with a citation; functionally, the citation is already in the body's Abortion Choice section. While the sentence originally spoke of tactics, I don't have a source specifically regarding tactics; and while it spoke of her objecting to abortion-centered tactics of radical feminists, I think her objection to radical feminists was to everything radical feminists stood for that differed from what liberal feminists sought, but I don't have a single source for it and I'm not going to spend time to collect various disparate sources, since much of her objection to radical feminism is already in the article, such as her objection, eventually tempered, against committed lesbianism.
