Gloria Steinem, writer, editor and activist who became one of the main names of feminism in the United States, died at age 92. Over decades of work, she participated in civil rights movements, protested against wars and dedicated herself to defending women's rights, including combating domestic violence and femicide.
Born in Ohio and later based in New York, Steinem built a trajectory marked by political action and journalism. In 1963, she was at the March on Washington, where she witnessed Martin Luther King's most famous speech.
In the 1960s, she protested against the Vietnam War and, in the 1990s, participated in demonstrations against the Gulf War. Her work encompassed various social causes, making her a reference figure both in the feminist movement and in struggles for civil rights and against armed conflicts.
