IN MEMORIAM: GLORIA STEINEM
1934–2026
EQUAL MEANS EQUAL mourns the loss of Gloria Steinem, whose extraordinary life helped transform the possibilities for women in America and around the world. We were deeply honored to have Gloria appear in our documentary Equal Means Equal and to lend her voice to the unfinished fight for women’s equality under the law. We remember her with enormous gratitude, affection and respect—and with renewed determination to carry the work forward.
