Gloria Steinem, trailblazing figure in women's liberation movement, dies at 92

The co-founder of Ms. Magazine was a leader in raising awareness about gender equality and violence against women, and for promoting inclusion, representation and social justice affecting women and girls.

Gloria Steinem, a co-founder of Ms. Magazine and a pioneer of the women's liberation movement in the latter half of the 20th century, has passed away at the age of 92. She died peacefully at her New York City home, surrounded by loved ones. The cause of death has not been disclosed. In her forthcoming book, "A Unexpected Life," Steinem reflects on her years living in her brownstone, which has witnessed countless lives before hers and will continue to do so after her departure.

Alongside her commitment to making her home a hub for social justice movements, this book represents one of the many gifts she has bestowed upon the world, with the hope that its impact will endure for generations to come.
