Friedan, 1921-2006, and King, 1927-2006

The Los Angeles Times runs obituaries for Betty Friedan, who died on February 4, and Coretta Scott King, who died on January 31. (And for Al Lewis, "Grandpa" on The Munsters, who died on February 3. They always go in threes...)

Addendum: Rebecca Solnit in The Nation connects Friedan with other authors of influential books from the early 1960s, Jane Jacobs and Rachel Carson.
