Betty Friedan Historical Marker
Dear Sisters,
We have a chance to commemorate our feminist foremother, Betty Friedan in Grand View-On-Hudson, where Betty wrote "The Feminine Mystique." which in 1963 woke up thousands of women and resulted in the formation of The National Organization for Women (NOW ) and started a feminist revolution which reduced gender discrimination for millions of women and girls worldwide.
World-renowned artist Cristina Biaggi and proud member of NOW has donated her talent to create the bas relief of Betty for the three-foot-high marker which will be cast in metal and installed in front of the Grand View Village Hall.
Feminists everywhere are contributing to the cost to make this monument a reality.
Please share in this tribute to Betty and our history by writing a tax-deductible check made out to: Veteran Feminists of America. In the memo of the check please write: Betty Friedan Historical Marker, and mail to:
Amy Hackett
473 Westminster Road Brooklyn NY 11218
Please share this request with others who may be willing to participate. And send your email address so we can notify you when the installation ceremony will take place.
