GLORIA STEINEM - HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY!!

On Gloria Steinem's 90th Birthday, she's not passing the torch, she's lighting it for others...

How many women in their 90s—other than “Notorious RBG” ­— can fill a theater, become an icon to teenagers, and inspire generation after generation to become involved in activism? Not very many!

Gloria has played an important part in almost every generation of my life. First , from afar when I was growing up. Then, up close through my experience working alongside her in our work with the Ms. Foundation, the ERA Coalition Board, A Call to Men, and through our collaboration hashtag#TheTeeInVote campaign.
And, now as a friend and fellow dog lover!

I think the secret to Gloria’s enduring relevance is:
-- an open perspective and endless curiosity
-- the clarity of a journalist
-- an incisive sense of humor & an endless supply of amazing quotes
-- the wisdom of age
-- lifelong passion for equality
and...the modesty and self-awareness of someone who refuses to be cast as the face of any movement she supports
HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY GLORIA!
