Happy 92nd birthday to an iconic journalist, feminist, and activist who needs no introduction: the one and only Gloria Steinem ✨

"The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up.

Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, Black means inferior: these are preconceptions imbedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

Whether it's woman's secondary role in society or the paternalistic role of the United States in the world, the old assumptions just don't work any more."
