Neighbors complain of smell, San Francisco bacon restaurant shut down


"The Feminine Mystique" written by feminist icon and founder of the National Organization for Women, Betty Friedan, was published fifty years ago today.
As a freelance journalist and writer, while raising three children, Friedan wrote about her 15-year college reunion in 1957 and found many classmates, who were also housewives, were dissatisfied. Further research led to the National best-seller which sold over 3 million copies and served as a major influence for the Women's Liberation Movement.
A 50th anniversary edition of the landmark book is to be published next month by W.W. Norton & company with an excerpt by New York Times writer, Gail Collins.
