Yesterday, you probably heard that Gloria Steinem had died at the age of 92.
voice-verified
She's often listed as an activist and journalist.
voice-verified
She helped found New York magazine and the popular magazine Ms.
voice-verified
devoted to women's issues.
voice-verified
But those achievements barely begin to cover it.
voice-verified
In many ways, she was the face of feminism in this country for decades, at one of the most formative times for women since the right to vote was enshrined.
voice-verified
Which is why, as sad as her death has been,
voice-verified
It's also prompted a lot of Americans to re-examine exactly what she means to this moment, to this wave of feminism.
voice-verified
Let's talk more about this with Deborah Michaels.
voice-verified
She chairs the humanities department at Merrimack College, where she's an expert in feminist history, particularly post-World War II women's history and women's entrepreneurship.
voice-verified
In fact, when the National Women's History Museum needed someone to write their material about Gloria Steinon, they turn to her.

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
Did her how did journalism play into this?
voice-verified
Could maybe this is a selfish question from a journalist, but I'm I'm curious and and how she viewed that mission and what stories she would be researching that might not have occurred to, you know, a a male journalist or somebody else.
voice-verified
Now, you're a college professor now, and so you're you were telling me how like you're teaching eighteen and nineteen and twenty-year-olds about li y about sort of the women's rights movements, both of the past and uh and of the present.
voice-verified
I'm kind of curious how feminism has evolved from her era and where her legacy kind of lands in the middle of all that.
