Of course eighteen members of the military died.
voice-verified
Yep.
voice-verified
Uh, ninety two, as she has passed away now, she was a leading political activist and writer on feminist issues, but she didn't start out that way.
voice-verified
Her life is really
voice-verified
Kinda remarkable.
voice-verified
She co founded Ms.
voice-verified
Magazine in nineteen seventy one, the first monthly focused on female equality, saying uh when that was taking place back then.
voice-verified
And s so it happened.
voice-verified
It started at a point when people in the media would say, Hm, MS mz how do you even pronounce that?
voice-verified
Uh, Gloria Steinem was an unlikely face for the political movement.
voice-verified
She didn't even get to school re regularly until she was about eleven years old.
voice-verified
Her parents uh were moving around.
voice-verified
Uh they split up in um in her early childhood.
voice-verified
As a child she had fantasized about becoming a roquette, the high kicking
voice-verified
dance troupe at uh New York's Radio City, known for the skimpy costumes and so on.
voice-verified
So how did she become the face of a movement pressing for equal rights, legal access to abortions, the right for women to be admitted to some of the top universities, or a woman's ability to apply for a credit card without a man's signature?
voice-verified
Well, she didn't come to this early, only in her mid thirties when she sought out a job at Life magazine and was told, Hey, we need a reporter, not a pretty girl.
voice-verified
Editor at New York magazine gave her an assignment because she had, quote, great legs.
voice-verified
Steinem herself thought she was unattractive, hated public speaking, but she went undercover to uh Hugh Hefner's Playboy Club, working as a waitress with rabbit ears and so on, but then writing about the degrading work conditions there in an expose she entitled A Bunny's Tale.
voice-verified
In other ways, she was not really the feminist cliche, the man hating bra-burning lesbian.
