Feminist pioneer and author Gloria Steinem – widely regarded as the defining voice of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s – passed away at age 92 on September 2. Over decades of activism, she co-founded Ms. Magazine, organized landmark coalitions alongside leaders like Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan to champion the Equal Rights Amendment – and reshaped national discourse on civil liberties and gender equality.
