NYT Obit & NYT retrospective

"The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own. There is no other way." --B.F.

"The only kind of work which permits an able woman to realize her abilities fully, to achieve identity in society in a life plan that can encompass marriage and motherhood, is the kind that was forbidden by the feminine mystique, the lifelong commitment to an art or science, to politics or profession." --B.F.

May we find new leaders, courageous and wise, to venture into the way unknown.
