In celebration of Women's History Month let's take a moment to give proper due to some of the sister's in this country who gave us a voice, made us stronger and empowered us to be the magnificent women we are today. No better way to start than with Gloria Steinem, an American feminist icon, journalist and women's rights advocate. She is the founder and original publisher of Ms. magazine. As a writer she gained popularity through an expose as a playboy bunny, political coverage of presidential elections and a groudbreaking article in 1962 raising the topic of marriage vs. career which preceded Betty Friedan's work in the Feminine Mystique. "I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career. " She has cofounded several organizations including, The National Women's Political Caucus, the Women's Action Alliance and the Coalition of Labor Union Women. Steinem has been a tirless advocate for all women. She has given us condifience and helped us to stand straight backed and proud knowing were more than equal and up to any challenge.
