Born in 1921 in Illinois, she became active as a youngster in small Marxist and Jewish circles.
Born in 1921 in Illinois, she became active as a youngster in small Marxist and Jewish circles. In her 2000 memoirs, she admitted that her husband, Carl, had beaten her during their marriage, though she once remarked, "Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim." She viewed the traditional home-maker role as stifling to women, and wrote about this, along with other topics in a 1963 book, which some say sparked a second wave of feminism. For ten points, name this author of The Feminine Mystique.
