\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Gloria Steinem<\/strong><\/a> has sadly passed away at the age of 92.<\/p>\n The famed feminist icon passed at her home on Wednesday (September 2) in New York City, the Gloria Steinem Foundation announced in a post on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you are not aware, played a major role in the feminist movement by advocating for women\u2019s equality, reproductive rights, and greater political participation. She also helped create influential organizations and publications, including Ms.<\/em> magazine and the National Women\u2019s Political Caucus, that gave women a powerful voice in American society.<\/p>\n Yesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. Gloria\u2019s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.<\/p>\n Gloria\u2019s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard. Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.<\/p>\n She spent her recent years doing the two things she loved most: being in community with others and writing. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into her living room for Talking Circles, a tradition she insisted will continue long after she is no longer with us. As Gloria wrote in her forthcoming book, \u201cAn Unexpected Life,\u201d \u201cI have now lived for more than fifty years in this brownstone, in rooms that have witnessed lives before mine, and will know others after I am gone.\u201d This book, along with her commitment to her home becoming a center for social justice movements, are among the many gifts Gloria has given the world with the hope they have ripple effects for generations to come. Gloria often quoted the adage: \u201cThe flap of a butterfly\u2019s wing can change the weather hundreds of miles away.\u201d<\/p>\n Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain. Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.<\/p>\n In lieu of flowers, Gloria has asked that those wishing to honor her with a gift, may make a donation to Gloria\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Posted To:Gloria Steinem<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Gloria](\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gloria-steinem-rip1-788x525.jpg\")
