Description
Gloria Steinem, the feminist trailblazer and leader of the women's movement in the United States, has died aged 92 at her New York home. The journalist-turned-activist co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, wrote about taboo topics including contraception and abortion, and famously went undercover to expose working conditions of Playboy bunnies. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by Barack Obama, with tributes flowing from figures including Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Oprah following her death.
