Q: Who was the journalist, activist and spokesperson who co-founded a number of ventures, including Ms. magazine, the Ms. Foundation for Women, Choice USA and the Women’s Media Center?
A: Gloria Steinem’s work as a journalist, feminist and activist led to her recognition as the leader of the women’s liberation movement in the 60s and 70s. In 1971, she joined other feminists in forming the National Women’s Political Caucus. That same year, she co-founded Ms. magazine. In 2005, she worked with Jane Fonda and Robin Morgan to establish the Women’s Media Center, which works to increase the number of women’s voices in the media. At the age of 77, Steinem is still involved in politics and media affairs.
