  "account": "Gloria Steinem, the influential feminist writer and activist, passed away at the age of 92 on September 2, 2023. Born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1934, Steinem's career as a journalist led her to become a prominent voice in the women's rights movement. Her dedication to her principles is evident in her 2015 memoir, My Life on the Road, where she reflects on the 1977 National Women's Conference in Houston as a pivotal \"before or after\" in her life. Steinem's work to promote equality and human rights, spanning five and a half decades, has left an indelible mark on society. Her legacy includes launching Ms. Magazine, advocating for causes like Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ rights, and inspiring generations with her wisdom. Steinem's quotes, such as \"A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men,\" \"The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off,\" and \"Empathy is the most radical of human emotions,\" encapsulate her enduring spirit and the impact of her work. Her latest book, An Unexpected Life, will further share her insights and continue to inspire readers long after her passing.",
