Gloria Steinem, the trailblazing feminist journalist and activist, died at her home in New York City at age 92, according to her foundation, which said she passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Sept. 2. Steinem became one of the most prominent voices of the American feminist movement, co-founding Ms. magazine and championing women's rights for decades. Tributes have poured in from Hollywood to Capitol Hill, with women in politics and entertainment describing her as both an inspiration and a personal friend. Archival interviews resurfaced, including a 2015 Fresh Air conversation in which Steinem said she felt freed later in life from the 'demands of gender,' and a 2023 BBC interview reflecting on her legacy as an icon of the feminist movement.
