17. Betty Friedan
Betty Friedan was one of the biggest names in feminism. She was quite a force to be reckoned with! Friedan was not afraid to ruffle the feathers on either side of the political spectrum, and her guts and nerves of steel helped to catapult her to a pristine spot in the women’s movement. She passed away in 2006, on her 85th birthday, but she left behind an impressive legacy, one that would inspire and motivate women for years to come. She penned a book in the 1960s that challenged traditional gender roles. Her ideas were wild and imaginative, but helped to pave the way for women’s equality as we know it today.
