Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
Writer, activist and face of the womenβs liberation movement Gloria Steinem died Wednesday at age 92. She spoke with Terry Gross several times over four decades, this remembrance pulls from three of those conversations: In 2015, Steinem talked about her unconventional childhood on the road with her parents, βMy memory is that I learned how to read from ketchup bottles and labels and billboards along the highway,β she said. Steinem was a founding editor of Ms. magazine, the first feminist publication of its kind. In 1987, she spoke about the founding of the magazine and her early reporting. And in 1992, they discussed aging as she faced her golden years. You can find more Steinem tape in our archive.Β
Also, John Powers reviews the new film Coyote vs. Acme.Β which he calls a spoof of the classic legal thriller, like The Verdict or Erin Brockovich β but steeped in the surreal anarchy of Looney Tunes.
