Gloria Steinem Tackled Systemic Misogyny as an Activist and Journalist (Can be Both)
“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.” ― Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem has died at the age of 92. She challenged the idea that women should "stay at home" and "look after the kids" while men "go to war" (not anymore) or "bring home the bacon".
By the 1960s, automation was in full swing (well past the industrial revolution) and many jobs were done in the office. While that was so, why not allow women's participation?
Quoting NPR: "Starting in the 1960s, at a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom. In doing so, she inspired generations of women to do the same. Today, she's a household name that is synonymous with the women's rights movement."
We need more Steinems out there. █
