Missed again! Get that hood off your head!

#ovariesofsteel!!

Thank you for asking! Seriously.

Thanks. Didn't know that. Is there any literature or an essay about that you can share?

Respectfully, I thought that rest in power belonged to typically marginalized people and those who championed them. Wouldn’t Gloria qualify under that definition?

Ever heard - imitation is the most sincere form of flattery?

Here in Twin Cities, at multiple protests, marches, and actions — mostly after the fact, FWIW — there was a LOT of pushback from (local) minority communities when crowds would (impromptu) chant “say their name” (for Good, Pretti). That was a learning experience for me. Still don’t know how I feel.

What a remarkable legacy she leaves behind. We all need to be equal to the task of protecting and building on it.

She worked so that women could go to medical school, law school, and even places like Columbia University, and then people like Phyllis Schlafly promptly went to law school after fighting against women being admitted.

Recognizing those that paved the way for your success in life is a fine character trait. It really is.🕊️

What a truly remarkable woman Ms Gloria was. In her honor, I’d like to share the graphic below, knowing no one would appreciate it more than the wonderful Gloria Steinem. Rest In Peace, Gloria🕯️🕊️

Thank you Gloria, for standing up for women’s rights.

😢

I feel the same way. I only hope that she was not aware of all the damage this administration has done to all the things she fought for years ago. 😢🙏. May she rest in peace.

And then the unwinding of it at the end of her life…

The last 11+ years of MAGA have had so many iconic women of my Mother‘s and my intersecting generation, die, who were voices of reason, wisdom, enlightenment, joy, comedy, respite, comfort, quiet or outspoken leadership. The lessons shouldn‘t stop as those women of ages 70- 99 pass on.

One of the few things about my hometown that I'm actually proud of. Sadly, I didn't hear about her until third grade when she was in our history books.

😔❤️😔

Rest In Peace & Power, Gloria Steinem 🙏🕊️

We all stand on the shoulders of giants.💔

I agree wholeheartedly AG! She has been an inspiration for me personally since the 70’s. 💙

😘😘🙌🙌

She was a dignified force of nature. Hell of a week.

Still need a husband's consent in so areas to get a tubial.

What goes around comes around Thank you Allison

The CIA opp who kept class out of the discussion about feminism?

I had the good fortune to be able to thank her in person. As you can imagine she was gracious and funny.I was the fan girl accosting her In a beauty shop. She had foil in her hair and apologized for looking like a baked potato. She was a smart and thoughtful role model for me and for my daughter.

My mom had to give up her 4 year scholarship to St John's. She had to stay home and help put her 3 brothers through school instead. They all wound up broken alcoholics and my mom remained angry for life. She loved Gloria

Same!!

Damn. She was a powerful, brilliant voice for good. She helped bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice. Not just for women, but for all.

For boomer women, she was our hero.

I saw the whole women's lib movement go down as a child. I knew it was needed too.

Hell functions on raw power. Heaven is grace, mercy, peace, rest all bestowed upon as we leave this life. Saying “rest in power” is essentially saying, “go to hell”. No thanks

Amen!

Same ❣️

She was literally tasked by the CIA with moving feminism away from any class-based analysis, a bulwark for real equality and progress. What a hero.

There are many of us who can say that! When I heard the news this morning the tears just came. Thank you Gloria🤗

Hear here. I owe her so much.

Goddamnit, this is the worst year.

RIP Gloria. I grew up listening, watching you; then joining the women's movement. A battle 💪 still being fought for: * equality * body autonomy * economic parity * identity * preference

Because of the feminist movement, I was not brainwashed by society to believe that I was subordinate to men, even though that was how my mother was raised and how she conducted her life. These women paved the way,i learned better and raised my daughters and my son to know better.This is evolution.

we all stood on her shoulders...now be the shoulders for future generations of young women

I have some serious gaff w/ the creator, who's taking *good* elders & leaving us w/ a be-diapered, mentally unfit, orange besmeared clown. C'mon, Zeus! So inaccurate w/ those thunderbolts, eh?

She fought hard to enable women to attend medical school, law school, and even prestigious universities like Columbia University. As a result, people like Felice Schlafly, who opposed women's admissions, soon went to law school themselves.

You can be a crossing guard or a meter maid but you can't be a police officer." How times have changed.

we need to tell them male media will downplay her life and legacy - WE won't let them ✊🏻

Some women pull up the ladder after themselves… Gloria built more ladders.

Every American daughter owe her a debt of gratitude. Including the daughters of this ruling GOP. And deep down they know it.

❤️

She so improved my catholic self esteem!

💯🎯💪

Before the likes of Gloria Steinem we didn’t even realize there was a glass ceiling. The biggest thing she did was open our eyes. She turned down the lights. When you know more, you do more.

Me, too. She was a force that improved the lives of women in the U.S. and then the world.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_...

She was quite a force in my generation. Significant changes towards female power occurred.

Privileged as a very young woman to hear her speak in person at an obscure junior college. Her observations were eye opening.

For everything she did for us as women. Throughout her entire career. Thank you.

I am who I am thanks in part to Gloria Steinem. 🙏 #ThankYouGloriaSteinem

Me too.

💯💯‼️‼️😢😢😢 Yep!

It's impossible to calculate what many have been able to do because of women like Gloria. May her memory empower future generations. May she rest in power.

I own a home I have an income I can buy a car I have a credit card card I have a bank account I can seek healthcare While Ms. Steinem it’s not solely responsible for any of those things, she played an immense part in making them possible. I will always be grateful to her and those beside her. RIP.

Quite simply, I owe her my life. Ms. magazine started when I was a young teenager & amazingly my mother subscribed to it. Reading it in that formative time shaped my ambition and sense of possibility. Her political work to change our country made it possible for me to do what I wanted to do. 

Oh, for fuck's sake. This is just ridiculous.

She wasn’t intersectional in her feminism though. Her brand of feminism was classist, and unrepresentative of the needs of all women/LGBTQIA. Specifically, her anti-sexworker rhetoric did a lot of harm.

On equality, my favorite Steinem quote remains: “A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle”. She will always be my hero. I grew my strength from that.❤️💙💙💙💙

You must be of a certain age. I am 68, and I am profoundly grateful to Gloria Steinem, and to every less well-known woman who was the "first" and blazed a trail for me at formerly all-male preserves. I have found that younger women can't imagine what that world was like--but I remember.

I listen to several radio pieces today on Gloria Steinham BY FAR, the most exceptional one was done by The World The poignancy of the stories that I haven't heard from any other broadcast was illustrated so professionally The World is a gem RIP, Gloria TheWorld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

The epitome of cool!

😪 Gloria Steinem died. 😭 💔💔💔

A REAL LIFE '9 to 5' WOMAN BEFORE IT WAS A MOVIE 🎥 🍿 AND FASHIONABLE 🙃🫠🥰🤩😎

😢

Thank you Gloria Steinem for taking a stand for equality for all people, & working to get us closer to the ideals in our Declaration of Independence “we hold these truths to be self evident that all (people) are created equal and endowed…with unalienable rights..life, liberty & pursuit of happiness”

was pretty busy when i got my first one at 21. i had NO idea that i was one of so few women in the country with an american express card. i thought EVERYBODY had them. now i feel guilty that my own weight was on her shoulders.

I’m so heartbroken over her loss!

Truly a trailblazer.

I had the absolute pleasure and honor of meeting her once. I thanked her for making my life possible. Her response? "Don't thank me. Just go help some other woman do it." I will never forget that moment.

Why? Are you also in the CIA?

You are leading the way as well.

she was a giant

Yes. She was a terrific fighter for womens' rights. She will definitely be missed!

All of the women conservative influencers who are saying that women should stay in traditional domestic roles need to understand that they are only allowed to be influencers because of women like Gloria Steinem

❤️

Iconic is the best way to describe her. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/09/im-7...

Andrea Dworkin wrote an essay (or book?) titled "Republican Women," which attempted to answer that question. From what I've heard of it (long ago), it was fairly sympathetic towards that group; so it might provide some helpful insights here.

Right there with you Allison - When I started in finance my company had no maternity policy and no sexual harassment policy. I needed both I demanded both I helped create both Now they have both 💪❤️

Ditto

She is the opposite of close the door behind you when you are doing good things She took the doors off their hinges Follow me We will do good things all together We fight as one She was amazing

👍👍👍👍💔

She led a very productive life.

Nooooo

I was happy to see that PBS News Hour led with her today.

I could never figure out why she had to become a Playboy Bunny to see how the women were treated. She could have just interviewed them like any other journalist would do. Or gotten close enough to Hefner to interview him. His views on women were horrifying for the most part.

Gloria was a foundation for me as a young teen. I bought a Ms. Magazine subscription with my own money when I was 15. The world is a better place because she was in it. Rest Gloria. What is remembered lives.

She made such a difference. A life well lived. Godspeed, Gloria. You will be missed.

💙That is so awesome! What a wonderful memory to have.

I’m guessing Trump won’t be flying flags at half staff.

Incalculable for us all.

😶😞💔

What a blessing she was for women. RIP Gloria and thank you.

Three amazing women lost within days. Dolly Parton, Cassandra Wilson and now Gloria Steinem. The light is dimmer now.

Ditto

Ms. Magazine "If feminism means each of us finding our unique power, and helping other women do the same, Dolly Parton certainly has done both," wrote Gloria Steinem in 1987.

I wonder if Sophie Cunningham has any idea who Gloria Steinem was and how significant she was in Sophie being able to be a professional (albeit a questionable one) athlete instead of “married, barefoot and pregnant”.

I love that….. “Rest in Power”. Thank you.

Damn!

She took a lot of crap. She knew there would be consequences for her speaking out. She did it anyway.

Thank you, Ms. Steinem, for blazing a trail for the rest of us. We will continue your work.

When I was young, and the battle of the sexes was raging I knew which women I needed to listen to by how much my dad hated them So Joan Baez and glorious Gloria Steiner were on my 8 year old radar because I knew then, if the men were mad, it was good for women

Amen

I was the first female police officer on patrol in my state in 1975 because of Gloria Steinem.
