A Conversation With Gloria Steinem

Now What? With Carole Zimmer

She was my first guest on “Now What?” and now she’s come back to help me celebrate the 100th episode. There’s no one quite like Gloria Steinem. But don’t call her an icon. She doesn’t like it. Gloria thinks of herself as a writer and an activist. She dressed up as a Playboy bunny for a Show Magazine article to tell the intimate story of what it’s like to be treated as an object at work. She was an important leader of the wave of feminism that changed the world in the 1960s and 70s and she’s the author of numerous books including Revolution from Within and My Life on the Road. We talk about women’s rights and what Gloria is wearing these days. “Now What?’ is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jullian Androkae. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
