Gloria Steinem: Her Life & Legacy

Gloria Steinem came from journalism to add her considerable skills to the battle for women’s equality, which changed the lives of women and became her lifelong passion. She became one of the most visible figures in feminism and remained so all her life.Gloria Steinem died on September 2 at her home in New York City. She was 92.Gloria Steinem, through her magazine, Ms., her friends in media, and her presence, became part of the conversation about most of the social and cultural issues that defined women and society in the second half of the 20th century. She was in the front of a new definition of freedom that defined not just the relationship between the sexes, but a definition of a life that had many women and men evaluating where they stood, choices they had, and what they wanted.Many said they wanted to be judged by achievement, not biology. While active in politics, Steinem spent all of her life as a writer and catalyst.It is an important moment to consider the life of Gloria Steinem, as a hero to many, as the country has a midterm election and prepares for a presidential contest in two years.Gloria Steinem made several appearances on Charlie Rose, often arguing the same issues that define us today…War and peace, national security, the cost of living, justice, power, the rule of law, corruption, and “what’s good for me.”In 2013, Steinem received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian award, from President Obama.
