My ultimate muse, the coolest & bravest woman who didn’t take no for an answer, ever! One who paved the way, opened doors that were sealed shut for women. A woman who put her life on the line, one who exposed truths and rallied hard for change. Assembled and organized foundations to culminate an equal path. We as women are forever in debt to her, teach your daughters & granddaughters about her, Ms. Gloria Steinem
Learning of your passing this morning has had me in a still haze, in disbelief that our world has lost a fighter, a protector, guardian of women’s equality and we’ll never be the same.
As a young girl, in my preteen years, I saw an image that will forever be stamped in my brain. That of Gloria with her fist in the air! She was beautiful and powerful, a leader. I wanted to be HER!!!
My whole life, I dreamt of meeting her one day, I’m sad that’ll never happen. All I knew was that she selflessly chose a life of service for the betterment and equality of women for future generations to come.
Her big break was an article of The Playboy Club (she went undercover as a Bunny) to expose the mistreatment of the girls that worked there. She became a target of hate after that and that is what fueled her for decades by founding the National Women’s Political Caucus to increase the number of women in politics, that stands today!
She then created the first ever feminist magazine, “Ms.Magazine” followed by Woman’s Action Alliance to promote non-sexist and multi racial education for children & Voters for Choice as a Pro Choice political action committee. True accolades of an extraordinary woman.
She will always be an inspiration to me, she taught me to be the girl who will stand up and make my voice loud & clear! One who will go toe to toe with a man and not feel intimidated or belittled.
Gloria, you were the light we all needed. Thank you for creating the change that all of us women enjoy today.
You’re forever the feminist activist baddie in all of Herstory!! Thank you.
If you want to spend some time learning more, watch biopic, The Gloria’s and/or miniseries, Ms. America.
Better yet, mid September her last memoir is set to publish, An Unexpected Life.
