As a field reporter in the 1960s, Gloria Steinem worked hard to dig up important stories. She went undercover to expose the grim realities of gender inequality in America. As her message continued to grow, she became the spokeswoman of the women's liberation movement and created the feminist publication, Ms. magazine. Steinem continues to speak and write about women and women's roles in media and politics.
In this book from the fun and accessible Who Was..? illustrated biography series, kids will learn all about Steinem's life and work — and her ongoing influence today. With sidebars to give historical context and a full timeline at the back, this title will give young readers a better idea of how far women have come, as well as the work that remains to be done for gender equality; as Steinem says, "We haven't even begun to imagine what we could be."
