I have admired.Ms. Steinem, since 1971, when I was.12. Thank you for the moral supoort, you have no idea you gave, to a little girl from a small country town, w little to no self esteem! I did ok! Thank you!..🤘
So sad at the disrespect in some comments. If not for her and the diverse group of women and men, women would not be able to rent an apartment, open a checking account, buy a home or have pay for equal work, or enter certain collages or the military. She's no joke and worthy of respect. Women's rights IS HUMAN RIGHTS. On and on.
Please tell as many people as you can. Seems the young aren't taught anything about history judging from some of the comments here.
Thank you, Gloria, for giving me the keen insight of my life as a woman, yet growing up in a rural area of Nebraska-we were all expected to marry farmers! I met you in a small dorm-lounge during my freshman ‘71 year of college and you turned my life on its tail! Fist definition on the term “double standard” which I had been experiencing many years on the farm. Your visit was a part of a symposium with Betty F & Bella I believe…we all survived.
Thank you x 1,000 for changing my life! I’ve gone on to be very successful and educated, two kids, ex-husband. Maybe a few regrets but not many.
Thank you Ms. Steinem …you have been my hero the better part of my life!❤
Thank you Gloria for your lifelong pursuit of the rights of people. I love you for that! I chose my lifelong dream of being a stay at home of mother raising my two sons. My grand children are young but I have email addresses and so I sent them the link to this video. I want my grands to be strong and aware humans and citizens who think for themselves and be fierce to protect the human rights of people.
F
I, too, decided to be a stay at home mom. I was educated, an advanced degree… but motherhood called out to me loudly. I don’t regret my choice although my children don’t respect me for my choices. So the feminist I am, somehow got crushed because of misogyny. Not feeling sorry for myself, just makes me sad.
@@Blonde111 I stand with you and honor your choices--all of them. That's what the Women's Movement was all about. And your children may come around as mine did, although it sure took long enough, lol.
She protected the rights of women and your post is a throwback. It's borderline manipulative.
Knowledgable, articulate, introspectibe, compassionte, inclusive, imaginative, steadfast, I could listen to her for hours. What a treasure.
Can donate on friday!

loved your comment, agree 100%
One of the best most unique human beings. Revolution from Within is a terrific journey of self-awareness and the movie based on My Life on the Road is worth every minute. Thanks ever so much for sharing this. ❤
What an honest interview. Thankyou so much♥️
Pioneer, role model and excellent example of an educated person who inspires progress, rather than telling you to stay in your place.
She is so patient and tolerant.
Great interview, interviewers and subject. Very, very good. Never really knew much about Gloria S., except her public façade. Illuminating to hear her voice.
Know this, wasn't there and we learn lessons. Nice being to see Gloria at The great Hall!
Such a fabulous interview. I love Gloria Steinem!
😊p😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
Listening to this again… happy birthday Gloria!
Thank you. Great insights on humans.
To share the ending is an honor share similar
I have admired Ms. Steinam for many decades.
In the late 80’s a friend of mine became pregnant and decided to receive a legal abortion at Planned Parenthood. Her boyfriend told her that he couldn’t take her so it devolved to myself, a young gay man who’s never slept with a woman in my life. I’m happy to say things went well and my friend has made a total recovery. She has moved on from her boyfriend which is a really great idea.
Speaking as an old (68) gay man, you did such a good thing. And you verify my firm belief that gay men in some ways cherish and understand women, and know how to be with women, far far better and more compassionately than do so-called "straight" men. I can't count the number of times I've had to explain to str8 male friends that their partners found their behavior borderline abusive, when the men had no idea that this was so. We've just got to figure out how to raise better heterosexual men (well, of course, that's partly a selfish desire, because otherwise how will we beget more amazing 2SLGBTQ+ humans?)
@@slowpainful You are so right. Both women and gay men understand what it is to be marginalized and both of us know the joys, the fears, the terrors and the celebrations of loving men.
The tales of caring for a parent with mental illness resonates with me.
She's an American Hero. Much love and tespect to her.
I liked the male interviewer better he got better responses and asked better questions
"You can give me the nickel or not but I'm not telling you"; "You can either kill me or walk away, because I"m not doing it". GLORIA!
I would have appreciated better interviewers. Gloria is such an amazing woman who is being asked a lot of very stupid questions. So frustrating! Missed opportunity.
The woman interviewer was particularly bad.
I'm totally with you on this assessment. The female interviewer was much more organic and fluid with her questions, I felt; the guy was just embarrassing, almost tongue-tied. Gloria was in both cases so gracious and accommodating, she never seemed to give the attitude of "what a stupid question", even when they were. There is such toughness and character underneath that gracious exterior. Her comment that marriage was the last decision a woman got to make, and that that made it like death, gave me chills. Men do not ever fully understand what greatness we have snuffed out by our oppression of women. Her mother's story brought me to tears, that a talented and trail-blazing journalist was brought to mental and spiritual breakdown through hopelessness. How is GS not paralyzed with bitterness? I am so grateful for the opportunity to have watched this interview.
When I am asked how to age with grace and courage, you are the one role model who always comes to mind. THANK YOU, Gloria, for living your truth and paving the way for the rest of us Boomer women. Namaste!
Finding a tumor by being aware is so important.
"Feminism is memory." Brilliant! It gives me a chill as well. In a good way. Awe. ❤😊
Thank you for reminding me of that profound quote. That also gives me a chill, also a sense of horror, and shame, I mean about what we as a society-by which I mean what men-have perpetrated.
Excellent in every way,
she must be or should be when looks at the way todays young women put themselves forward these days.....I feel for the effort she made to change things for these girls
"I think I identified with almost every woman in the world before I identified with my mother." So poignant... true for many.
omg some of questions! 🙄
CIA ties and leader of Independent Research Service
In 1967, Steinem revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she worked full time from 1958 until 1962 at the Independent Research Service, which was largely financed by the CIA.[111] In May 1975, Redstockings, a radical feminist group, published a report that Steinem and others put together on the Vienna Youth Festival and its attendees for the Independent Research Service.[112][113] Redstockings raised the question of whether Steinem had continuing ties with the CIA, which Steinem denied.[114] Steinem defended her relationship to the CIA, saying: "In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable."[65]
She has said some good things.
Having children can sometimes be selfish. It seems to me that a woman so active in multiple endeavors is not being selfish, knowing that sufficient attention could not be given to them. On the other hand, it’s no one’s business.
👍❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Gloria has magnificent eyes.
How does one say I once was beautiful but I’m not anymore? I was beautiful for 40 years. I cannot find a book that addresses the aftermath. Poor me. It’s like poor me, I’m not rich anymore. This video comes close. Anyway, I also avoided introspection.
The structure or non sets up much who are. Takes a lifetime to ongoing to risk not or?
For whatever reason, I've had a very different experience of aging, and how it effects a woman than Gloria has.
Even the timetable is different.
Women are the executive power y’all. 💐
Any sci fi fans here?
"powerful humanist G.S. used to be........
powerful........😔

Good job remaining consistent. Never let up, never pause, never give the hateful traitors a chance to breath
"The TRUTH will set you free, but first it will piss you off" - Gloria Steinem The quote: The truth will set you free originates from John 8:32 Holy Bible, then utilized by Gloria Steinem a radical feminist from the 1960's with the identical ideology as the new LGBTQ+ ideology.
I was giving more than ten percent, until my job stopped paying me.
Hmmm...very soft focus and subdued lighting.

Like ir was shot through a foot of cement (vintage cinematographer slang when some women insisted on having a nylon placed over there camera lens to remove imperfections)
What is an undercover Playboy Bunny? I don't watch pornography.

😂😂😂😂😂
Ask her why she's not standing for women having to compete against transsexual men in sports. I'd think that would be bigger when she told us to burn our bras. I find it strange she's not vocal on this insanity for the women movement, how they seem to be exterminating women. Did she know this? Please ask as inquiring minds question these things.
Do you actually know anyone dealing with competing against a trans woman? Because the outrage about it being a possibility is ridiculous.
I feel that this so-called "outrage" is a manufactured one, and is really just a moral panic perpetrated on the public discourse by so-called "conservatives", specifically white male heterosexual conservatives, because, once again, their heads explode at the idea that anyone not exactly like them should have any measure of dignity or equality. The whole
"trans women competing in sports" kerfuffle is on the same level as the urban myths that children are being taught how to use sex toys, or are using cat litter boxes in the school washrooms. It's hogwash meant to stir up hatred against a very small, vulnerable group of humans who we should be cherishing and protecting and learning about *by listening to their stories and believing what they report as their feelings and experiences.* Instead, we just get hysterical and shout over them. We are regressing to caveman levels of empathy. I hope we can do better. Much, much better. How about you go ask some transexual individuals what their reality is like, rather than making assumptions and shooting your mouth off as though you actually know anything at all about them? I say all of this, of course, with love.
She never told anyone to burn their bras, no bras were burned in the production of the Women's Movement. You are sadly informed and are either very young or not very deep.
The quote "burn your bras" is often correctly associated with Gloria Steinem, but she didn't actually say those exact words. It's what she stood for. Lunge BS, I mean GS, the phrase became emblematic of the feminist movement during the 1960s and 1970s, and Steinem was the prominent figure in that movement. She advocated for women's rights, including issues like equal pay and reproductive rights, but the specific phrase "burn your bras" is more of a symbol of the broader movement rather than something she explicitly said.
Funny how unfeminine the feminist movement was/is.
Type is stuck making it hard to write in.
HOW DO I SAY 'LOVELY' LIKE IT HAS NEVER BEEN SAID BEFORE?

Gloria, explain to me, don’t you see Meghan is everything you always hated? You got markled woman😘
??? Are you sure you're in the right place here? Who said anything about Meghan Markle? And from what I can see, Gloria didn't and doesn't hate anything or anyone. That's one of the reasons she's been so effective the past 60 years.
@@stregalilith Gloria got Markled. Trust me
@@luzoo3540 What is Markled?
Good wording, "out of date:"
Out of content in reference to
A woman who never understood that God and spirituality must be the focus of all people as we were made in his image.The destruction of the family and our society was when the man was toppled from the head of the family. She was a big part of that destructive movement which has led to our troubles as a society today and how melancholy she comes across in her life and in this interview
Oh, please, pick me girl. She's contemplative, as anyone with a an intellect should be. Please go fight to maintain your oppression somewhere else.
I'm sorry, but the female interviewer almost ruins this interview for me. Love Steinem though.
selfish
Who?
I am so thankful for you Gloria Steinem! But this interview is a bit lame.
She buddied up with charlaton Meghan Markle and destroyed her life's work in my eyes. What a joke.
She was a pioneer in women's liberation, until she realized she had no children to take care of her in her old age. To rectify the problem she married a man with four children. I hope they will care for her. She led a lot of women down the path of 40 to 80 with no one but cats.
Hey Hammer time. Silly girl, It doesnt matter how many children you have - you are dying alone. So man up. My sweet little 85 yr old landlady 's daughter NEVER checks on her, wont even live with her, except when she needs CASH. She would take her last nickel! Just because you have a kid there are no guarantees - Except that you are dying alone. Have a great day Smuglet.
@@mizoct85 You will be the last person you know to die. My father, mother both passed away with all of my brothers and sisters by their side. Life has no guarantees. I am sorry your life sucks. Every time I see people like you trying to insult people by calling them names, you lose credibility.
Apparently you believe that women are incapable of looking after themselves in "their old age". Unlike practical, visionary men who have the foresight to have a wife as a pet instead of a smaller mammal. Talk about reducing a cultural icon and pioneer of women's rights, not to mention all females, to a cliché, two-dimensional caricature.
What?
@@mizoct85 THANK you!
Everyone has the same rights as everyone else, always have since 1863.
Everyone has had the same rights for as long as humans existed, though it's only in the past three centuries that we developed enough brain cells to understand this. The problem is, rights are a two-way thing: someone has them, and then someone has to recognize them. It's the second part that is woefully unfulfilled. I will add: such a typical American attitude, that all human rights hinge on the Emancipation Proclamation during the US civil war, which in one stroke solved all problems of racism and inequality. The rest of us in the non-US just don't know how we would have coped without your shining example. Unbelievable.
That's a laugh, your thinking that
Where have you been for the past 100 years?
@@stregalilith oh, you must be thinking equality. That does not, and never will exist. You look different than others.
Putting trans women in control (of women)
Why is abortion criminal? Because it’s someone else’s life you have taken from them.
Yes so right- what a bunch of BS. and she finally married like they all do. American Feminism is a mixed bag of fair points I.e ( equity ) and destructive ones i.e ( aping the greedy habits of men and crowing about it ). At bottom feminism in America is about who gets the power and control when it should be about values informing those privileged attributes irrespective of gender
When life begins is when one can breathe. You are following her point about patriarchy and it’s control.
Nelson Mandela chose peace if you don't count all the "necklaces" his wife passed out.
Nothing better than burning flesh and tires in the morning.
He disavowed her actions and divorced her as soon as he could. Get your history straight. Do you approve of everything your spouse does?
@@stregalilith "Although Mandela advocated non-violent resistance to apartheid during his early years in the African National Congress in the late 1940s and early 1950s, his position on violence shifted. In 1960 he became one of the founders of the organization’s armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, which launched sabotage attacks against government facilities. Two years later he imprisoned. He spent 27 years in prison."
He was fine to not disavow her in the 80s when the rest of the ANC was trying to move away from outright endorsement.
Cry moar about it.
Sounds la lot like everyday life of women in first world countries, I thought this lady might have something more out of the ordinary to listen to, quite sad that she so unhappy.
Steinem a CIA plant rewarded handsomely for disrupting American family unit and creating a plantation system of labor for both men and women in working class. Marketed Trope.
Unhappy obstinent lonely and so sad
Speaking for yourself, I see.
Who? You?
adore her!
Nothing here to be respectful of. 🤮 What would Archie Bunker say?
