Caption: Gloria Steinem, pioneering voice of the women’s movement, dies at 92. Gloria Steinem, the pioneering American journalist and feminist activist who helped transform the women’s rights movement, has died at the age of 92. Steinem died on Wednesday at her home in New York, surrounded by loved ones, according to a statement announcing her death. Born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1934, she began her career as a journalist before becoming one of the most influential voices in the fight for gender equality. In 1971, she co-founded Ms. magazine, which became an important platform for feminist ideas and helped bring women’s rights issues into the American mainstream. Steinem was a leading campaigner for abortion rights, equal opportunities and greater political representation, becoming closely associated with the second-wave feminist movement. Alongside her activism, she wrote extensively about women’s rights and social justice and became a prominent speaker and organiser both in the US and internationally. She remained politically active well into her later years, continuing to advocate for gender equality and inspire younger generations of feminist activists. Her long career earned her numerous honours, including Spain’s Princess of Asturias Award in 2021, cementing her legacy as one of the most notable figures in modern feminism.
