Gloria Steinem: Feminist Icon

Gloria Steinem has been dubbed the most famous feminist in the world and it’s not hard to see why. The journalist, advocate and former pseudo-Playboy Bunny has paved the way for so many women behind her, she’s spoken truth to power and done so with a cool confidence. 

From her life on the road as the daughter of a travelling antique salesman (yes, you read that right), to feminist leader and media trailblazer, this week we look at the story of Gloria: the woman who has truly proven that the pen is mightier than the sword. 

Content warning: This episode touches on the topic of abortion.
