Muriel Fox offers rare, firsthand stories of 29 women and one man, including Betty Freidan, but also many who have not previously been recognized for their contributions. As NOW's public relations director, Fox orchestrated nationwide outreach. She was NOW's vice president, then chair of the board, then chaired the National Advisory Committee. As Betty Friedan's main lieutenant and director of operations, Fox drafted numerous letters sent by NOW under Friedan's signature to government officials demanding faster action to reduce sex discrimination, including a letter that helped persuade President Lyndon Johnson to add gender to Affirmative Action and open opportunities for millions of women. Unlike books relying on secondary sources, Fox's memoir is built mainly from her own Feminism Files containing hundreds of letters, clippings, notes, and photographs that she archived."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Fox, Muriel, $c (Activist). 610 20 $a National Organization for Women. $x History. 650 0 $a Feminists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Feminism $x History. 650 0 $a Women's rights $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240703011033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E4289EC390111EF921F5BD751ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
