Your legacy lives on every day in the millions of women who live their dreams, whether it be a life of family, career, or both. Thanks to your courage, we now have the choice and strength to live as (mostly) equal members of our society.

Our prayers are with the family. She was able to put into words, what women everywhere have felt in our hearts but were unable or afraid to articulate. We owe a lot to Betty Friedan.

I was very much surprised that when two other leaders of human and civil rights where remembered during the Superbowl that Betty Friedman was not mentioned as well. You leave behind a legacy that has made my professional life a lot easier than the women of your time. Thank you for everything. May your family find comfort at this time, knowing that a pioneer's principles and beliefs have made a tremendous difference for me, my friends, my daughter. We all thank you.

Thank you for setting the stage for all us. You fought the impossible war. Your part is done. We must now continue the fight and stop those who want to take away what you and others helped win for all.

Feminine Mystique literally changed my life. I will always be grateful to her for leading the charge in pioneering women's liberation. It's the end of an era with her passing.

THANK YOU for proving that being born FEMALE was NOT a curse and that we had RIGHTS and SELF-RESPECT and a HERSTORY that was just as valid as HISTORY!
Thank you for showing us the way.
Someone had to be first to blaze the trail for us and she was YOU!
Thank you and may G*d bless you!
Millions of women are grateful for your hard work and dedication to helping women win OUR Civil Rights and stating that we ARE PEOPLE too!
It's up to us now!
THANK YOU!

My condolences to the Friedan family. Thank you for sharing Betty with the world. The Feminine Mystique changed my life and my friends' lives and gave me a mantra to rear my daughter by and to share with others: "Each person is to be a responsible, contributing member of society." Thank you, Betty, for a life well-lived.

If it were not for Betty's influence, I may not even exist today! With her reasonings I prepared myself to step out of an abusive relationship and say, "My parents did not raise me to be a punching bag. I am a person!" Thank you so much, so many times.

Thank you, Ms. Friedan, for all you did in behalf of women, and the elderly and disabled. My mother, who was your age, did not believe she was in a position that allowed her to live the life you introduced her to, however, she made sure her daughters did. Thank you. You will be missed.

It's a bit strange that we lost two leaders of human and civil rights in the same week. It is my hope that our world has many to fill the shoes of two great people - Betty Friedan and Coretta Scott King.
Thank you Ms. Friedan for the ability to use "MS." as part of our salutation for women. You leave behind a legacy that gave hope in my own life, and hope in the lives of our daughters and granddaughters. We are forever indebted to you. May your family find comfort at this time, knowing that a trailblazer's ideals have changed the world forever.

Betty became my heroine when I first read Feminine Mystique as a college junior and my admiration continued through her Fountain of Age. Her insight into societal mores has given us courage to change and be more. What an amazing woman she was.

Betty was a catalyst for change and very instrumental in helping women stand up and be counted. Because of Betty, many of us continue to draw on our own strength instead of burying our heads in the sand with defeatist attitudes. Thank you, Betty.
