 The Father's Day
we know today began in Spokane, Washington,
thanks to the efforts of Sonora Louise Smart
Dodd, who believed that fathers should be
celebrated with a special day just as mothers
were. The first Father's Day was celebrated on
June 19, 1910. |
 Betty Naomi
Friedan was the author of The
Feminine Mystique, in which she called upon
women to shed their domestic confines and
discover other meaningful endeavors. In 1966 she
helped found the National Organization for Women,
which worked to secure women's rights in
employment. |
