Steinem became the most visible symbol and potent voice of the U.S. women's movement in the '60s and '70s and a fierce advocate for feminist causes for the rest of her life.

Steinem was one of the most recognizable figures in the modern women’s movement and a longtime journalist who cofounded both New York Magazine and Ms. Magazine.

Steinem co-founded Ms. magazine in the early 1970s and helped create the Women’s Media Center alongside Jane Fonda and writer Robin Morgan.
