Sure, but you can say that about many feminists. Steinem, although a bourgeois white women, was still a driver of the second wave, which had some impact on all women’s progress in the last 50 years, even with her faults and missteps. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

The feminist movement that Steinem did much to mainstream and expand is in retreat, with women’s rights and status eroding conspicuously, and I’d like the usual suspects to consider this before they go on their ahistorical little rants about how she was a CIA stooge or whatever.
