Gloria Steinem, who passed away at the age of 92, was a relentless advocate for women's rights and achieved equality, self-worth, and confidence for women around the world. Steinem's life mission was to provide women the right to live and work as they desired, and her efforts led to the achievement of this right in many countries.
She launched the pioneering women's magazine 'Ms.' in 1971, a time when women were still victims in a patriarchal society. Her magazine fought for equal rights in various fields and eradicated biases and assumptions that hindered women's progress. Steinem's impact was profound, as she coined the term "sexual harassment" and fought against it.
She published 12 non-fiction books and her life story is set to be released soon. Despite facing opposition from counter-feminists, right-wing individuals, and patriarchs, Steinem remained unyielding in her beliefs. She had a long-standing friendship with economist and feminist Devaki Jain, who acknowledged Steinem's role in acknowledging women's minds, skills, and political and social voices.
