Gloria Steinem, a pioneering journalist and co-founder of Ms. Magazine, has died at her home at the age of 92. An internationally recognized figure in the struggle for women’s equality, Steinem was a vocal advocate for the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage, and equal pay throughout her career.
Steinem launched her journalism career in New York during the 1960s, going on to become a defining voice in feminist discourse. In recent years, she was a prominent critic of former President Donald Trump, arguing that the United States had regressed significantly in terms of women’s rights under his leadership.
Her passing marks the end of an era for activists and journalists who worked alongside her to advance gender equality worldwide.
What an incredible legacy. Ms. Magazine changed the landscape of journalism forever. She will be deeply missed.
I never met her, but her words shaped my understanding of equality. A true pioneer who paved the way for so many.
92 is a remarkable lifespan for such a long, active career. Does anyone know what caused her passing?
It feels like just yesterday she was organizing protests. Time flies when you are fighting for justice.
Her recent criticism of Trump was sharp and necessary. The fight isn’t over, but her impact is undeniable.
