Journalist and political activist Gloria Steinem died in New York at the age of 92. She was one of the leaders of the gender equality movement in the 1960s and 1970s. The New York Times called her “the living embodiment of the feminist movement” in an article about Gloria Steinem’s death, Forbes — “an icon of feminism.”
Gloria Steinem was born in 1934 in the United States. In the 1960s, she became an active participant in the feminist movement, as well as the anti-war movement in connection with the Vietnam War. In particular, she campaigned for the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1972. Steinem also actively championed women’s right to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy.
Gloria Steinem has written several books on women’s rights. As a journalist, she has written for many media outlets, including *New York Magazine* and *The New York Times*, and founded her own magazine, *Ms.* In 2020, the film “Gloria,” based on her life, was released, with Julianne Moore playing the role of Gloria Steinem herself.
