Let´s see what we can learn about the sexy and hot woman Gloria Marie Steinem.
Gloria Marie Steinem (born March 25, 1934) is an hot American feminist icon, journalist, and social and political activist. Rising to national prominence in the 1970s, she became a leading political leader of the decade, and one of the most important heads of the second-wave of the women’s rights movement. She is the founder and original publisher of Ms. magazine, the founder of the pro-choice organization Choice USA, co-founder of the Women’s Media Center, and was an influential co-convener of the National Women’s Political Caucus.
Biography
Early life
Steinem was born in Toledo, Ohio. Her mother, Ruth (née Nuneviller), was of part German descent. Her Jewish father, Leo Steinem, was a traveling antiques dealer (with trailer and family in tow) and the son of immigrants from Germany and Poland.[1] The family split in 1944, when he went to California to find work while Gloria lived with her mother in Toledo.
Years later, the hot Steinem described her relationship to her mother as pivotal to understanding of social injustices. At 34, Ruth Steinem had a “nervous breakdown” that left her an invalid, trapped in delusional fantasies that occasionally turned violent. She changed “from an energetic, fun-loving, book-loving” woman into “someone who was afraid to be alone, who could not hang on to reality long enough to hold a job, and who could rarely concentrate long enough to read a book.” Ruth spent months in-and-out of sanatoriums for the mentally disabled. Before her illness, Ruth had graduated with honors from Oberlin College, worked her way up to newspaper editor, and even taught a year of calculus at the college level. Steinem’s father, however, demanded that her mother relinquish her career, and divorced her after she became sick. The subsequent apathy of doctors, along with the social punishments for career-driven women, convinced Steinem women badly need social and political equality.[2]
Gloria Steinem attended Waite High School in Toledo, then graduated from Western High School in Washington, D.C. She attended Smith College, where she remains active. In 1960 she was employed by Warren Publishing as the first employee of Help! (magazine).[3]
Political awakening and activism
In 1963, working on an article for Huntington Hartford’s Show magazine, she was employed as a Playboy Bunny at the New York Playboy Club. The article featured a photo of Steinem in Bunny uniform and exposed how women were treated at the clubs. The article was a sensation, making Steinem an in-demand writer in the process.
After conducting a series of celebrity interviews, Steinem eventually got a political assignment covering George McGovern’s presidential campaign, which led to a position in a New York magazine. Her 1962 article in Esquire magazine about the way in which women are forced to choose between a career and marriage preceded Betty Friedan’s book The Feminine Mystique by one year. She became politically active in the feminist movement, and the media seemed to appoint Steinem as a feminist leader of sorts. Steinem brought other notable feminists to the fore and toured the country with lawyer Florynce Rae “Flo” Kennedy, and in 1971, co-founded the National Women’s Political Caucus as well as the Women’s Action Alliance.[5]
