An Interview With Feminist Activist Muriel Fox

December 25, 2020 by Clare Sheridan Leave a Comment

crossroads of rockland historyOn the December 2020 episode of “Crossroads of Rockland History,” Clare Sheridan welcomed feminist trailblazer Muriel Fox. While living in Tappan, Muriel Fox made history with Betty Friedan when they, and other prominent feminists, founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966.

A powerhouse herself, Muriel Fox was once included in Business Week magazine’s list of “100 Top Corporate Women.” Fox spoke about her career and her work with NOW, as well as her contributions to other organizations. Fox also shared exciting news about 2021 — when she and other feminists around the globe will celebrate the 100th birthday of Betty Friedan.

You can listen to the podcast here.

Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, airs on the third Monday of each month at 9:30 am, right after the Steve and Jeff morning show, on WRCR radio 1700 AM and www.WRCR.com.
