Gloria Steinem: Feminist Icon

FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor interviewed the most famous feminist in the world at its recent national convention in Boston. The state/church watchdog presented Steinem its Forward Award, reserved for individuals who are moving society forward. No one better deserves that award than Gloria Steinem.

“We were in the back of a taxi in Boston being driven by an older woman, which itself was rare for a taxi driver,” Steinem recounted the story of how one of her most famous quotes came into being. “We were talking about abortion and the struggle with laws. It was the wonderful old Irish woman taxi driver who turned around to us and said, ‘Honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.’”

Steinem talks candidly having an abortion in the 1950s, her humanist views and rejection of the afterlife, and why, in the face of so many of today’s challenges, she remains a “hope-a-holic.”
