In 2015, the trailblazing feminist told Fresh Air she that had entered a new phase in life, one in which "you can do what you want." Steinem died Sept. 2 at the age of 92.
In a 2005 "This I Believe" essay, Gloria Steinem wrote: "I believe that a unique core self is born into every human being — the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again." Steinem died Wednesday at the age of 92. She's pictured above in 2022.
