Rest in Power.

In 2013, to mark Steinem’s 80th birthday, Pitman Hughes commissioned a portrait reenacting the famous 1971 photo of her and Steinem with their firsts raised. (Bagan Photography)

Ms. Steinem you had the chance to make a fist properly this time why oh why didn't you? Did you learn nothing from Ms. Pitman Hughes?

ps

So now I want to be unequivocal in my words:
I believe that transgender people, including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned. Their health care decisions should be theirs and theirs alone to
make. And what / wrote decades ago does not reflect what we know today as we move away from only the binary boxes of "masculine" or "feminine" and begin to live along the full human continuum of identity and expression.
In 2021, Steinem signed an open letter supporting trans women and girls, saying, "I am proud to sign this letter because we all must fight against the unnecessary barriers placed on trans women and girls by lawmakers and those who co-opt the feminist label in the name of division and hatred."
