Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique was first published on February 19, 1963. Thirty years later, the world premier of the movie Groundhog Day was on February 12, 1993. Instead of Presidents' Day, we should commemorate the publication of the book and the premiere of the movie with a combined holiday on the second Monday of each February. That would also put it conveniently near Valentine's Day and make that Hallmark holiday a little more meaningful - maybe we should combine all three into "Feminine Groundhog Valentine Day."
