Gloria Steinem (1934 - 2026) was a writer, lecturer, political activist, and feminist organizer. She spent decades traveling in this and other countries as an organizer and lecturer and was a frequent media spokeswoman on issues of equality. She was particularly interested in the shared origins of sex and race caste systems, gender roles and child abuse as roots of violence, non-violent conflict resolution, the cultures of indigenous peoples, and organizing across boundaries for peace and justice. She lived in New York City. Gloria’s home remains the heart of Gloria's Foundation and has become renowned as a magnetic and life-changing center for feminists and activist thinkers from around the world.
