Born on this day...Marilyn French (née Edwards) (November 21, 1929 – May 2, 2009) was an American author. In her work, French asserted that womens oppression is an intrinsic part of the male-dominated global culture. For instance, one of her first non-fiction works, Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals (1985), is an historical examination of the effects of patriarchy on the world. Her first and best-known novel, The Womens Room, released in 1977, sold more than 20 million copies and was translated into 20 languages.
