Feminist Pioneer Betty Friedan dies

First Coretta Scott King and now Betty Friedan. It's been a rough week!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Betty Friedan, whose 1963 book "The Feminine Mystique" helped inspire the modern feminist movement and who co-founded the National Organization for Women, died on Saturday on her 85th birthday, a relative said.

Friedan died at her home in Washington of congestive heart failure, her cousin Emily Bazelon said.
