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 is a world traveler, feminist, wife, mother, and a retired public relations executive who 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, including those which are right here in Rockland County. Fox shared exciting news about 2021—when she and other feminists around the globe will celebrate the 100th birthday of Betty Friedan. This event will take place on February 4, 2021 at 7pm.
