What did Gloria Steinem do?

Answer 1

Gloria Steinem is an American feminist, journalist, and social and political activist who became nationally recognized as a leader of, and media spokeswoman for, the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s. She is thus considered one of the mothers of second-wave feminism.

She was the founder of a feminist women's magazine called Ms, and also reported and wrote free-lance articles for various publications (including the NY Times) about sexism and gender stereotypes. Attractive, articulate, and photogenic, Ms. Steinem became a frequent commentator on women's issues for TV and magazines. She has remained a passionate advocate for women's rights and a spokeswoman for the empowerment of women and girls world-wide.
