Writer Elizabeth Janeway, a writer who was married to economist, author and presidential advisor Eliot Janeway, was initially skeptical of the women's movement of the 1960s and then became a supporter. Her writings explored life and drew on her own experiences as a woman, wife, and mother.


A quote from Elizabeth Janeway: "Feminism is a major response to enormous changes in the human environment and the context of life. In my work, I am exploring the interactions that are shifting our perceptions of gender roles and, indeed, of the entire political process through which our world is managed."
