C-Span to Look at Life of Betty Friedan
Viewers will be encouraged to call or send questions or comments by e-mail during the live broadcast, which will air from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The program will air again at 8 p.m. and midnight on December 7. Broadcasting from Smith, producer Mark Farkas said, seemed a natural decision, since "shooting from a place associated with the writer's life and work gives viewers a richer experience." A companion Web site to the series, www.americanwriters.org, notes that many of the ideas underlying The Feminine Mystique originated in a 1957 survey that Friedan sent to her Smith classmates, asking about their satisfaction with their lives. |

Fans
of C-Span's ongoing American Writers series will catch an extended
view of Smith College on December 3 when a program featuring
the life of Betty Friedan '42 and her 1963 book, The Feminine
Mystique, originates live from campus. The series, billed as

Hurston, Ernest Hemingway, and David Halberstam, who have "chronicled,
reflected upon or influenced the course of U.S. history."
