Oh, soledad, si tengo que convivir contigo que no sea 
en marana de oscuros edificios.

In a 1973 article in the titled “Up From the Kitchen Floor,” Friedan
claimed that when she wrote her book in the early ’60s, “I wasn’t even
conscious of the woman problem.” Yet in 1951 Betty Goldstein (Friedan’s
maiden name) wrote an article titled “UE [the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers of America] Drive on Wage, Job Discrimination Wins
Cheers from Women Members” (UE News, April 16) in which she
reported on a labor meeting. Goldstein described the women as “fighters”
who “refuse any longer to be paid or treated as some inferior species by
their bosses, or by any male workers who have swallowed the bosses’
thinking.”
