Feminist icon Muriel Fox co-founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the powerful NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund (now Legal Momentum), one of the most pivotal forces in the Second Wave Feminist Movement. An organizing lieutenant to Betty Friedan and head of NOW’s communications, Fox was central in creating both national NOW and its New York Chapter. Muriel Fox was also co-founder and president of The Women’s Forum and chair of the Veteran Feminists of America. As executive vice president of Carl Byoir & Associates, Muriel Fox became the world’s most preeminent woman in public relations. Fox graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Barnard College in 1948. At age 96, she remains an influential voice in the feminist movement. (Please inquire about forthcoming appearances.)

The Women’s Revolution: How We Changed Your Life (New Village Press, 2024) is Fox’s first book.
