Gloria Steinem On #MeToo, Trump And Creating Change
Gloria Steinem experienced her first round of fame in 1963, when she wrote a groundbreaking exposé on becoming a Playboy Bunny for Show magazine. In 1972, she co-founded Ms. magazine, the inaugural cover revealing a housewife “goddess” with eight arms—each holding a household item—a baby in her belly and tears streaming down her cheeks. She went on to found the Women’s Action Alliance, the National Women’s Political Caucus and the Women’s Media Center. Over 45 years after her efforts for women began, the indefatigable 83-year-old Steinem remains one of feminism’s most relevant, eloquent and persuasive voices.
In advance spoke to Steinem about the rise of what is, in many ways, the culmination of her life’s work, the #MeToo movement, and how to turn its remarkable momentum into concrete change.
