Gloria Steinem - In Memoriam
Notas do episódio
This week, we remember the life of Gloria Steinem – legendary feminist, activist, and journalist, with a rebroadcast of a conversation recorded in San Francisco on November 9, 2015.
For more than half a century, Gloria Steinem was one of the most influential voices for women’s rights, equality, and social justice.
Steinem began her journalism career in New York, gaining national attention with an undercover investigation of the working conditions at the Playboy Club. In 1971, she co-founded Ms. Magazine, a groundbreaking publication that centered women’s lives in the larger political and cultural conversation.
Steinem was a mentor to generations of women - whether through her writing, her activism, or simply her example, Steinem offered women an invitation to speak out, organize, and imagine a different future. City Arts & Lectures’ founder, Sydney Goldstein, was one of those women, and Gloria was a guest onstage many times - and lent her advice and support offstage.
Gloria Steinem died on September 3, 2026, in New York. She was 92.
In this 2015 appearance, Steinem talked with filmmaker, activist and artist Chinaka Hodge, after the publication of her memoir, My Life On The Road.
