Gloria+Steinem



** Gloria Steinem was born on March 25th, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio. She helped create both New York and Ms. magazines. She helped create the National Women's Political Caucus and is the author of many books and essays. At Smith College, Gloria studied government which was a nontraditional choice for a woman during this time. "In the 1950s, once you married you became what you husband was, so it seemed like the last choice you'd ever have..." Gloria said to //People// magazine. One of her most famous articles for the time was a 1963 expose on New York City's Playboy Club for //Show// magazine. She went undercover for the article, working as a waitress, or a scantily clad "bunny" as they called them at the club. In 1971, Steinem joined other prominent feminists, such as Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan in forming the National Women's Political Caucus which worked on behalf of women's issues. Till this day Gloria is still fighting for us women, leading us to equal rights. **
