Marilyn French


Happy birthday to Marilyn French, seminal feminist author and educator (Nov. 21, 1929 to May 2, 2009).

Of French's first novel, "The Women's Room," Gloria Steinem said: “It was about the lives of women who were supposed to live the lives of their husbands, supposed to marry an identity rather than become one themselves, to live secondary lives. It expressed the experience of a huge number of women and let them know that they were not alone and not crazy.”

"The Women's Room" has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
