About the Author:
A founder of NOW and a vanguard leader of the Women's Movement, Betty Friedan was the author of The Feminine Mystique, It Changed My Life, The Second Stage, Beyond Gender, and The Fountain of Age. She taught at Northwestern University, Yale, Temple, Harvard, and USC. She died in 2006.
From AudioFile:
Thirty years after her 1963 classic, The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan focuses on aging. Read by Friedan herself, The Fountain of Age, "glimpses new possibilities and new directions" for aging in both men and women. Friedan's distinctive, gravelly voice lends itself well to her writing style. The pace at times seems slow, but Friedan's voice is expressive. The successful abridgment is delivered like a well-prepared lecture, full of both scientific studies and personal experiences. A.A.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
