Who Is Gloria Steinem A Feminist?

For many years Gloria Steinem was known for being a journalist, who was also a feminist that was highly into politics and things that happen in our country. Steinem was a well rounded person who always wanted her hand in everything she could possibly get in it. In addition to being a journalist and feminist, Steinem was a author. Everything she experienced throughout her childhood developed her into the strong and independent person she is today. Steinem had a lot of struggles and she went through a lot of leaps and bounds, but she never let any of those things deteriorate her or knock her off her path. She knew what she was destine for greatness, and she was more determined than ever. Gloria Marie Steinem was born March 25, 1934 in Toledo,
She majored in government/political science, which was one of the things she really had a passion about and she just had this thirst to learn everything she could about it. While attending college Steinem was involved in numerous activities, for instance she was a part of her school’s newspaper. She genuinely had a love for writing and it showed throughout her work. Steinem in her free time she volunteered for the the presidential campaign for Adlai Stevenson.
