Gloria Steinem, a pioneering feminist and prolific advocate for reproductive rights, has passed away at the age of 92. Steinem's life was dedicated to political and social change, fighting for causes such as reproductive freedom, gender equality, racial equality, and LGBTQ+ rights. She played a pivotal role in founding influential organizations like the National Women’s Political Caucus, Women’s Media Center, and the Women’s Action Alliance.
Steinem's legacy includes her unwavering commitment to equality, exemplified by her personal experience with abortion, frequent writing about reproductive rights, and her belief that "the attempts to oppose reproductive freedom are long, violent, and current." Her passing has been mourned by fellow activists and leaders, with Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Alexis McGill Johnson praising Steinem's unwavering belief in the power to change the world.
