As I have mentioned here on the blog, occasionally I will miss an obituary of somebody worthy of inclusion here. One such person was author Caroline Bird, who died in January of 2011 at the age of 95. She got only a little mention in the New York Times, but her works were highly influential back in the 1960s and 1970s, for both good and bad.
Good because she recognized the need for women to have careers, but bad in that she tended to denigrate women's more traditional choices.
Among her books were Born Female, The Two-Paycheck Marriage, Everything a Woman Needs to Know to Get Paid What She's Worth, and The Case Against College.
