Betty Friedan
Ted Nixon2020-06-07T20:05:14+00:00I have seen a dramatic change in the role of women during my lifetime. My mother and women of her generation were primarily homemakers, mothers and tenders of the family. That certainly was the model in the 1950’s and didn’t really start to change until the early 1960’s when feminist writers broke on to the scene to shatter the status quo.

Equality
Ted Nixon2020-06-07T19:07:47+00:00Susan B. Anthony once said, “If one of us is not equal, none of us is free.” Her statement reflects two things I believe in completely. First, that we are all connected and second that only if we are equal are we truly free to be whom we strive to be.

Women Helping Others

Women’s Humor
Ted Nixon2020-06-07T18:35:57+00:00I have four young grandchildren and I can guarantee you one thing about them; they all have a sense of humor and love to laugh. In fact, a desire to laugh is one of the things we all share as human beings. We don’t all think the same things are funny, but we all think something is.
