Gloria
Steinem has been a leading voice for feminism and women's rights
since she started her journalist career writing for New York
magazine in the late 1960s and then co-founded Ms. Magazine,
the first national women's magazine run by women in 1971. She
has also written a number of best-selling books including Moving
Beyond Words, Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, and Revolution
from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem. In addition to inspiring and
empowering women by writing about the women's movement and other
social issues, Gloria Steinem has also actively campaigned for
progressive political candidates, lectured widely and has helped
to create many advocacy and action organizations such as Choice
USA, the Coalition of Labor Union Women, the National Women's
Political Caucus, Women's Media Center and the Ms. Foundation
for Women.
