Gloria Steinem, a feminist writer and abortion-rights advocate, died on September 2, 2026 at her home in New York City, a post on her social media pages said. She was 92.
“Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end,” said the statement.
At the age of 22, Steinem had an illegal abortion in England. She dedicated her 2015 memoir, “My Life on the Road”, to this doctor, recounting: “He said, ‘You must promise me two things. First, you will not tell anyone my name. Second, you will do what you want to do with your life.’”
