At 96, Muriel Fox, author of "The Women’s Revolution: How We Changed Your Life," declares, “After thousands of years when women were in servitude to men, we changed it. I hope we’re going to have a woman president. I take some credit for that.” Fox tells us about her person: Betty Friedan; her place: her senior community and her thing: her computer.
