Political leaders and celebrities praised the feminist icon for helping expand women’s rights and bring feminism into the mainstream.
- On Wednesday, feminist icon Gloria Steinem died peacefully at her home in New York City at age 92, prompting an outpouring of tributes from political leaders and cultural figures celebrating her lifelong fight for women's equality.
- Rising to prominence in the 1960s, Steinem co-founded Ms. magazine and the National Women's Political Caucus, successfully challenging workplace sexism and advocating for reproductive freedom to bring feminism into the mainstream.
- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote, "She pushed open doors not just for herself," while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Governor Kathy Hochul praised her enduring political influence on women in elected office.
- Cultural icons including Billie Jean King praised Steinem's indefatigable spirit, noting she worked tirelessly for over 70 years; actor Jane Fonda said she holds a "special place in history" and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, recalled her as a "friend and mentor."
- Younger generations emphasize the responsibility to widen freedoms Steinem fought for, while her second memoir, "An Unexpected Life," is set for release later this month.
