Compare the much-deserved sendoff Coretta Scott King received to the smaller funeral for Friedan: “Colleagues from the women’s movement as well as her three children and their families were among more than 300 mourners at the funeral for Friedan, who died of congestive heart failure Saturday on her 85th birthday.”

What? The funeral for Betty Friedan already took place? And I missed it? You may be asking those questions, and I don’t blame you. I didn’t find out until I Google Newsed it and game up with this AP story, which has been recycled everywhere, as opposed to all the varied perspectives on the passing of Coretta Scott King.
