Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem is one of those figures who genuinely bent the arc of a culture. Out of Toledo and Smith College, she became the recognizable face of second-wave feminism, co-founded Ms. magazine, and put women's voices at the center of American public life. The Hall of Fame inductions and the Princess of Asturias Award only formalize what was already obvious. What I most admire is that she persuaded rather than merely shouted, using journalism and patient organizing to change minds, not just headlines.
