Gloria Steinem, the writer, journalist and activist who became one of the most recognisable faces of the American women’s movement, has died at 92. Her foundation announced her death on Instagram, without specifying the cause.
For more than five decades, Steinem was a powerful voice for women’s rights and social equality. With her trademark streaked hair, centre-parted hairstyle and large aviator glasses, she became an instantly recognisable figure of the feminist movement.
