The one the only, Gloria Steinem

The woman for today is none other than the feminist of all feminists, the endlessly inspiring, Gloria Steinem.

Steinem, is the most know second wave feminist that is still, fortunately for us, alive and very much involved in the movement today. She became famous for writing an expose of her experience as an undercover bunny in the 1970's. She later went on to found Ms. Magazine, which was the first true women's magazine. Steinem is also one of the founding members of the Women's Political Caucus.

She has dedicated her entire life to the women's movement. I thought it would be appropriate to end with a famous quote of hers- I believe it defines what feminism is all about.

"This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism."
