Description

Today’s episode is about a girl from East Toledo, Ohio. _____ A girl who taught herself to read, by devouring comic books, horse stories and Louisa May Alcott. A girl who didn’t set foot in a school until she was 14. _____ A young woman who went to India for two years to avoid getting married—to anyone. A young woman who was described by one Esquire editor as the only writer he knew who could make sex boring. _____ A woman who has never, ever, worked for a paycheck. Who made up and launched her own idea for a column in New York magazine. (It kind of still exists). _____ A woman who, while on assignment, was kicked out of the lobby of the Plaza Hotel because “she must have been a hooker.” (Weren’t all single women who hung out in hotel lobbies?). _____ A woman who describes herself as a “hope-aholic.” _____ Today’s episode is about Gloria Steinem, the woman who created Ms. Magazine, and started a revolution.
