Gloria Steinem
The Playboy Bunny Who Co-Founded Ms. Magazine
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
I grew up watching my mother struggle and my father wander, which taught me early how the world treats women. I went to Smith College, chased stories, and once served cocktails as a Playboy Bunny to expose the reality behind the glamour. That’s how I found my voice — and I’ve used it ever since, writing and rallying for change through Ms. Magazine and beyond.
