Next step for feminism: Go global
This month marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique," which revealed the mind-numbing ennui of the mid-20th century American housewife, and a great deal of ink has been spilled describing how far we still...Tags: Lacrosse, Career and Workplace, Science and Technology, HIV, Viral Diseases and Infections

Edith Bunker, unlikely feminist
I think Edith Bunker did more to liberate the caged American housewife than Betty Friedan ever did. The author of "The Feminine Mystique" is the one who identified the nameless dissatisfaction of women at home with the kids and the kitchen chores. But...Tags: Jean Stapleton, Entertainment, Television

Colleges could feel impact of losing wrestling from Olympics

A Wary But Resilient Boston Keeps It Together, Defies Blasts That Tried To Tear It Apart
