Her exposé: A Bunny’s Tale Pt. 1 & 2

In the name of strong journalism, Gloria Steinem boldly exposed the exploitation and abuse of young women at the Playboy Club.

In a life of many roles, Gloria found herself a caregiver, international businesswoman, journalist funded by the CIA, and even an entirely different person. Gloria took the persona (and name) Marie Catherine Oche’s to infiltrate the life of a “bunny.”

True to her word, Gloria immersed herself in a culture before trying to make changes. By going undercover for Show Magazine at the New York City’s famed Playboy Club at 5 East 59th Street she was able to uncover and highlight the real issues.

Although time has passed, Gloria hasn’t slowed down! Feminist, activist, and scholar are only a few of the key attributes on a long list of accomplishments that describe Gloria.

We can thank Gloria for "take your daughter(s) to work day!" She was involved in the first national effort to empower young girls to learn about career opportunities!

At 32:42 Morgan confused Jane Fonda with Gloria Steinem!
