Gloria Steinem, the American feminist journalist and activist, dies at age 92. Multiple outlets report that she dies at her home in New York, with statements describing her death as occurring peacefully and surrounded by loved ones. A spokesperson and tribute posts also say she remained active in work for equality until the end.

Steinem is widely credited as a leading figure in modern feminism and second-wave activism, using journalism, public speaking, and campaigning to argue for women’s rights. Several sources note her early work as a journalist in the 1960s and her later co-founding of the feminist magazine Ms in 1972. Outlets also highlight her long public engagement with issues including abortion rights and broader equality.

Different outlets emphasize different aspects of her legacy. Some focus on her role as a trailblazing feminist voice, while others add that her activism extended to LGBTQ+ advocacy and allies, as well as other causes such as protesting apartheid and speaking on trans inclusion. The reports agree that tributes are paid across media and that donations or her foundation are suggested as ways to commemorate her, rather than flowers.
