Throughout her life, Gloria Steinem has worked tirelessly to get women a seat at the table. So it’s only fitting for Steinem to be honored for that decades-long commitment with a full-on dinner party. Hosted by The Shift on October 16 in New York City, the occasion brought together fellow activists, fashion insiders, and celebrities to mark Steinem’s contribution to gender equality.
Steinem’s acclaimed career is most closely associated with her work to tell women’s stories, particularly as a co-founder of the feminist publication Ms. Magazine in 1972. Now, at 90, she’ll celebrate a return to magazines as the first face of The Shift, a semi-annual social impact publication. During the event, Steinem was presented with her cover image, shot by famed photographers Inez & Vinoodh, who served as the dinner's co-hosts alongside social entrepreneur and Shiffon Co. founder Shilpa Yarlagadda.
