Gloria Steinem, who pushed for gender equality, dies at 92

Gloria Steinem, a leading figure of second-wave feminism and co-founder of Ms. magazine, has died at 92, according to reporting from The 19th.

Her career spanned from undercover reporting on labor conditions at the Playboy Club in 1963 to decades of activism on reproductive rights, the Equal Rights Amendment and gender equity, including public disagreements with fellow feminists over how to weigh political loyalty against personal conduct, as with her 1998 defense of Bill Clinton amid the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

She is survived by four stepchildren, including actor Christian Bale; her husband David Bale died in 2003.
