Gloria Steinem finally rests, but the hell-raising continues

Original version ·

The world lost the original icon of modern feminism at 92, and the internet is currently a collective puddle of tears and receipts.

They say you can't be everything to everyone, but Gloria Steinem somehow managed to be the blueprint for generations of rabble-rousers. She spent decades proving that being a woman in charge wasn't just a vibe—it was a necessity.

From the pages of Ms. magazine to the literal floors of the Capitol, she didn't just break glass ceilings; she basically redesigned the building. The sheer volume of tributes pouring in from everyone, from Hollywood A-listers to grizzled senators, shows exactly how many people she managed to shake awake.

Her legacy isn't just a list of achievements, but a giant, messy, unstoppable movement that still hasn't finished the job.

Turns out, you really can change the world just by refusing to sit down and be quiet.
