Kehidupan awal
Steinem was born on March 25, 1934, in Toledo, Ohio, daughter of Ruth (nÃÆ' Â © e Nuneviller) and Leo Steinem. His mother was a Presbyterian who was mostly German (including Prussia), and several Scottish descendants. His father was a Jew, a son of emigrants from WÃÆ'¼rttemberg, Germany and RadziejÃÆ'³w, Poland. The father's grandmother, Pauline Perlmutter Steinem, was chairman of the education committee of the National Women's Rights Association, a delegate to the International Women's Council of 1908, and the first woman elected to the Toledo Education Council, as well as a leader. in motion for vocational education. Pauline also saved many members of her family from the Holocaust.
Steinems lived and traveled inside the trailer that Leo passed as an antique dealer. Before Steinem was born, his mother, Ruth, then aged 34, had a "nervous breakdown" that made him invalid, caught in a delusion of fantasy that sometimes turned violent. He changed "from an energetic, loving, loving woman to a book" to "someone who is afraid to be alone, who can not stand the fact long enough to hold a job, and who can seldom concentrate enough to read a book. "Ruth spent a long time inside and outside the sanatorium for the mentally ill, Steinem was ten years old when his parents finally parted company in 1944. His father went to California to look for a job, while he and his mother continued to live together in Toledo.
While her parents divorced due to her mother's illness, Steinem did not relate her to the results of chauvinism on the part of her father, and she claimed to have "understood and never blamed her for the breakup of that relationship." However, the impact of these events has a formative effect on his personality: while his father, a traveling salesman, never gives much financial stability to the family, the way out worsens their situation. Steinem concluded that his mother's inability to hold jobs was evidence of the general hostility towards working women. He also concluded that the doctor's apathy towards his mother arose from the same anti-woman animism. Years later, Steinem describes his mother's experience as very important to his understanding of social injustice. These perspectives convince Steinem that women have no social and political equality.
Steinem attended Waite High School in Toledo and West High School in Washington, D.C., graduating from the last. He then attended Smith College, an institution where he continued to be involved, and from which he graduated as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In the late 1950s, Steinem spent two years in India as a Member of Chester Bowles Asia, where he briefly dealt with the Indian Supreme Court as Legal Officer for Mehr Chand Mahajan, who later became the Supreme Court of India. Upon returning to the United States, he served as director of the Independent Research Service, an organization funded in secret by a donor who turned out to be the CIA. He worked to send non-Communist American students to the 1959 World Youth Festival. In 1960, he was employed by Warren Publishing as the first employee of the Help magazine! .

Career journalism
Esquire featured editor Clay Felker gives freelance writer Steinem what is to be called his "first serious task" on contraception; he did not like his first draft and told him to rewrite the article. His 1962 article on how women were forced to choose between careers and marriages preceded Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique for one year.
In 1963, while working on an article for Hartington's Huntington magazine Show, Steinem was employed as Playboy Bunny at the New York Playboy Club. The article, published in 1963 as "A Bunny's Tale", features a photo of Steinem in Bunny uniform and details how women are treated at the clubs. Steinem has stated that he is proud of the work he does publicizing the exploitative working conditions of the rabbits and especially the sexual demands he makes, which surround the edge of the law. However, for a brief period after the article was published, Steinem could not get another assignment; in his words, this is "because I have now become a Rabbit - and no matter why."
In the meantime, he interviewed John Lennon for the magazine Cosmopolitan in 1964. In 1965, he wrote for weekly NBC-TV satirical revitalization, That Week (TW3) , contributing to the regular segment titled "Surrealism in Everyday Life". Steinem finally got a job in Felker's newly founded New York in 1968.
In 1969, he covered a speech abortion for the New York Magazine, which was held in the church's basement in Greenwich, New York. Steinem had his own abortion in London at the age of 22 years. He felt what he called a "big click" on the conversation, and then said he did not "start my life as an active feminist" until that day. As he remembers, "This [abortion] is supposed to make us an evil person, but I must say I have never felt that way.I used to sit down and try to find out how old the boy was, trying to make me feel guilty, but I never I think the person who said: "Honey, if a man can get pregnant, an abortion will be a sacrament" is true.speaking to myself I know it is the first time I take responsibility for my own life I will not let things happen to me I will direct my life, and therefore it feels positive, but still, I do not tell anyone because I know that outside is not [positive]. "He also said," On in the following years, if I remember at all it will create a phrase like 'freedom of reproduction'... as the expression includes the freedom to have children or not.So that makes it possible for us to make koa lisi. "
In 1972, he founded the feminist themed magazine. with Dorothy Pitman Hughes; it started as a special edition of New York , and Clay Felker funded the first edition. 300,000 copies of his tests were sold out nationally in eight days. In a few weeks, Ms. has received 26,000 subscription orders and more than 20,000 reader letters. The magazine was sold to the Feminist Foundation Majority in 2001; Steinem remains in the masthead as one of the six founding editors and serves on the advisory board.
Also in 1972, Steinem became the first woman to speak at the National Press Club.
In 1978, Steinem wrote a semi-satire essay for Cosmopolitan titled "If Men Can Menstruate" where he envisions a world in which menstruating men are not women. He concluded in the essay that in such a world, menstruation would be a badge of honor with a man comparing their relative suffering, rather than the source of shame that it is for women.
On March 22, 1998, Steinem published an opinion in The New York Times ("Feminist and Clinton Question") where, without actually challenging accounts by accused Bill Clinton, he claimed that they did not represent sexual harassment. It was criticized by various authors, such as at Harvard Crimson and in the Times itself. The original item has been scrubbed from the NY Times archive, as can be verified by searching it (https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/22/opinion/feminists-and-the-clinton-question.html) and as noted by Nathan Dial, who reposted to Scribd with a comment: "the fact that it's not on the annoying NYT page."
Activism
In 1959, Steinem led a group of activists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to organize an Independent Information Services on the Vienna festival, to advocate for American participation in the World Youth Festival, a Soviet-sponsored youth event.
In 1968, Steinem signed the "Writers and Editors of War Tax Protest", pledging to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.
In 1969, he published an article, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation" which led him to national fame as a feminist leader. He therefore campaigned for the Amendment of Equal Rights, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in his favor in 1970. That same year he published his essay on the utopia of gender equality, "What Would Like If Women Win," in Time magazine .
On July 10, 1971, Steinem was one of more than three hundred women who founded the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC), including famous people such as Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and Myrlie Evers-Williams. As a co-convener of the Caucus, he delivered the address "Address for American Women", stating in part:
This is not a simple reform. It's really a revolution. Sex and race because they are an easy and visible distinction have become the main way of organizing people into higher and lower groups and being cheap labor whose systems are still dependent. We are talking about a society where there will be no role other than the one chosen or earned. We are really talking about humanism.
In 1972, he ran as a delegate to Shirley Chisholm in New York, but lost.
In March 1973, he spoke at the first national conference of Stewardesses for Women's Rights, which he continued to support during his existence. Stewardesses for Women Rights folded in the spring of 1976.
Steinem, who grew up reading comic Wonder Woman, is also a key player in the recovery of Wonder Woman powers and traditional costumes, restored in issue # 204 (January-February 1973). Steinem, offended that the most famous female superhero has been dispelled, has placed Wonder Woman (in costume) on the cover of the first edition of Ms. (1972) Ã, - Warner Communications, owner of DC Comics, is an investor - which also contains an appreciative essay on character.
In 1976, a series of first female passovers were held at Esther M. Broner's apartment in New York City and led by Broner, with 13 present women, including Steinem.
In 1977, Steinem became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP). WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization. The organization works to improve communication between women and link the public with forms of women-based media.
In 1984 Steinem was arrested with members of Congress and civil rights activists for irregular behavior outside the South African embassy while protesting against South Africa's apartheid system.
At the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991, Steinem, along with leading feminists, Robin Morgan and Kate Millett, openly opposed raids to the Middle East and insisted that the goal of "defending democracy" was pretense.
During the Clarence Thomas sexual abuse scandal in 1991, Steinem voiced strong support for Anita Hill and suggested that one day Hill himself would sit in the Supreme Court.
In 1992, Steinem co-founded Choice USA, a nonprofit organization that mobilizes and provides ongoing support to young people lobbying for reproductive choices.
In 1993 Steinem co-produced and narrated an award-winning TV documentary Emmy Award for HBO on child abuse, called, "Dual Personality: Searching for Deadly Memories." Also in 1993, he and Rosilyn Heller co-produced the original TV movie for Lifetime, "Better Off Dead," which examined the parallel powers that opposed the abortion and supported the death penalty.
He donated the "Media and Movement: User Guide" section to the anthology of 2003 Sisterhood Is Forever: The Women Anthology for the New Millennium, edited by Robin Morgan.
On June 1, 2013, Steinem appeared on stage at the "Chime For Change: The Sound Of Change Live" Concert at Twickenham Stadium in London, England. Then in 2014, UN Women commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, and as part of the campaign Steinem (and others) speak at the Apollo Theater in New York City. Chime For Change is funded by Gucci, focusing on the use of innovative approaches to raising funds and awareness, especially regarding girls and women.
Steinem has stated, "I think the fact that I have become a symbol for the women's movement is somewhat unintentional.A member of the Congressional women, for example, may be identified as a member of Congress; that does not mean he is less a feminist but he is identified by his nearest male analog. I do not have a male analog so the press must identify me with movement I think I can be called a journalist, but because Ms. is part of the movement and not just a magazine, I am more likely to be identified with movement. there's another slot to include me. "
Contrary to popular belief, Steinem does not give a feminist slogan "A woman needs a man like a fish in need of a bicycle." Although he helped popularize it, this phrase actually comes from Irina Dunn. When Time magazine published an article linking the words with Steinem, Steinem wrote a letter saying the phrase had been created by Dunn.
Another sentence sometimes mistakenly associated with Steinem is, "If a man can become pregnant, abortion will be a sacrament." Steinem himself connects it with "an old Irish lady taxi driver in Boston," which she says she and Florynce Kennedy met.
In 2015, he joins up to thirty prominent international peace-making women and becomes vice president of Women's 2015 Walk For Peace in Korea with Mairead Maguire. The group's main aim is to defend the disarmament and seek reunification of Korea. It will hold an international peace symposium in both Pyongyang and Seoul where women from North Korea and South Korea can share experiences and ideas to mobilize women to stop the Korean crisis. The group's special wish is to walk through the two-mile Korean Demilitarized Zone separating North Korea and South Korea that are meant to be the symbolic act taken for peace in the agony of the Korean peninsula for 70 years after its breakup at the end of World War II. In particular it is believed that the role of women in these acts will help and support the reunification of family members divided by the 70-year-old split.
Steinem is currently the honorary chairman of the American Democratic Socialist.
Engagement in a political campaign
Steinem's involvement in the presidential campaign stretched back to his support of Adlai Stevenson in the 1952 presidential campaign.
election 1968
A fierce civil rights advocate and critic of the Vietnam War, Steinem was initially attracted to Senator Eugene McCarthy for his "remarkable notes" on the issues, but in meeting him and hearing him speak, he found him " careful, uninspired, and dry. " As the campaign progresses, Steinem becomes confused with McCarthy's "wildly offensive" attack against his main opponent, Robert Kennedy, even when "his real opponent, Hubert Humphrey, goes free."
At a late-night radio show, Steinem gathered attention to state, "George McGovern is the real Eugene McCarthy." In 1968, Steinem was chosen to argue to McGovern about why he should enter the presidential election that year; he agreed, and Steinem "sequentially or simultaneously served as a pamphlet writer, advancing 'human,' fundraiser, lobbyist delegate, task runner, and press secretary."
McGovern lost his nomination at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and Steinem later wrote about his amazement at Hubert Humphrey's refusal even to suggest to Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley that he was controlling the raging police and bloodshed on the streets. "
selection 1972
Steinem was reluctant to rejoin the McGovern campaign, because although he had brought in McGovern's largest campaign contributor in 1968, he was still being treated like a reckless parade by many of McGovern's campaign staff. In April 1972, Steinem said that he "still does not understand the Women's Movement".
McGovern has finally issued the abortion issue of the party platform, and recent publications suggest McGovern is in conflict with the issue. Steinem then wrote a description of this event:
The consensus of women caucuses delegates meeting is to fight for minority boards on reproductive freedom; indeed our vote has supported board nine into one. So the fight we did, with three women delegates speaking fluently in support of it as a constitutional right. One Right-to-Life fanatic fan speaks out against, and Shirley MacLaine is also an opposition speaker, arguing that this is fundamental rights but not included in the platform. We made a good show. Obviously we will win if the McGovern troops have let their delegates be uncompressed and thus can choose their conscience.
However, Germaine Greer is completely at odds with Steinem's account, reporting, "Jacqui Ceballos called from the crowd to demand abortion rights on the Democratic platform, but Bella [Abzug] and Gloria looked glass into the room," thus killing the abortion rights platform, "and asked, "Why did Bella and Gloria not help Jacqui for an abortion? What kind of silence, what losers have befallen them? "Steinem later recalled that the 1972 Convention was the only time Greer and Steinem had ever met.
The cover of Harper ' the moon reads, "Like women, they do not want to be tough with their men, so, like women, they're screwed."
2004 elections
Ahead of the 2004 election, Steinem voiced strong criticism of the Bush administration, insisting, "There has never been a government that is more hostile to women's equality, the freedom of reproduction as a fundamental human right, and has acted on the basis of that hostility," adding, "If he is elected in 2004, abortion will be criminalized in this country. "At the Planned Parenthood in Boston, Steinem declared Bush" a danger to health and safety, "citing his hostility to the Law on Clean Water, reproductive freedom, sex education and AIDS assistance.
elections 2008
Steinem is an active participant in the 2008 presidential campaign, and praises both frontrunners of the Democratic Front, commenting,
Both Senator Clinton and Obama are supporters of civil rights, feminists, environmental activists, and war critics in Iraq... Both are opposing pandering to the right, something that sets them apart from any Republican candidate, including John McCain. Both have experience of Washington and foreign policy; George W. Bush was not when he first ran for president.
Nevertheless, Steinem supports Senator Hillary Clinton, citing her wider experience, and said that the country is in poor condition may require two things from Clinton and two from Obama to fix it.
She also made headlines for the op-ed New York Times where she quoted gender and not race as "perhaps the most limiting force in American life". He elaborates, "Blacks are given a half-century vote before women of any race are allowed to mark ballots, and generally have risen to positions of power, from military to conference room, before any woman." It was attacked, however, from critics who say that white women were given a vote that was not strung in 1920, while many blacks, women or men, could not vote until the 1965 Constitution Act, and some executed for trying, and that many white-skinned women advanced in business and politics before black women and men.
Steinem once again attracted attention, according to the New York Observer , apparently "undermining the importance of John McCain's time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam"; Steinem's broader argument "is that the media and the political world overly admire militarism in all its guises."
Following McCain's choice as Sarah Palin as his spouse, Steinem wrote an opinion in which he referred to Palin as "unqualified woman" who "opposes all things desired and needed by most women," described her nominations speech as "divisive and deceiving" , called for a more inclusive Republican Party, and concluded that Palin resembled "Phyllis Schlafly, only younger."
2016 election
In an HBO interview with Bill Maher, Steinem, when asked to explain his wide support for Bernie Sanders among Democrat young women, replied, "When you are young, you think, 'Where is the boy? Boy with Bernie.' "His comments sparked widespread criticism, and Steinem later issued an apology and said his comments had been" misinterpreted ".
Steinem is vice chairman and honorary speaker at Women's March in Washington on January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of Donald Trump as President.
CIA Bond
In May 1975, Redstockings, a radical feminist group, published a Steinem report and the others gathered information about the Vienna Youth Festival and its audiences for Independent Research Services. Although he admitted to having worked for a CIA-funded foundation in the late 1950s and early 1960s in interviews given to the New York Times and Washington Post in 1967, from Ramparts exposure to CIA magazine (nearly two years before Steinem attended his first Redstockings or Feminist meeting), Steinem in 1975 denied any sustained involvement.
In his book "My Life On The Road", Steinem spoke publicly about the relationship he had with "The Agency" in the 1950s and 1960s. While popular with accusations for his paycheck, Steinem defended the CIA's relationship, saying: "In my experience the Agency is completely different from its image, it is liberal, non-violent and honorable."
Personal life
Steinem was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1986 and trigeminal neuralgia in 1994.
On September 3, 2000, at the age of 66, Steinem married David Bale, father of actor Christian Bale. The marriage was done at the house of his friend, Wilma Mankiller, the first Chief of Women of the Cherokee Nation. Steinem and Bale were married only for three years before he died of cerebral lymphoma on December 30, 2003, at the age of 62 years.
Previously, he had a four-year relationship with publisher Mortimer Zuckerman.
Commenting on aging, Steinem says that as he approaches the age of 60, he feels like entering a new phase in life free of the "gender demands" he faces from adolescence and beyond.
Feminist position
Although most often considered a liberal feminist, Steinem repeatedly characterized himself as a radical feminist. More importantly, he has rejected the categorization in feminism as "non-constructive to a particular problem," saying: "I have appeared in every category, so it makes it harder to take the division very seriously." Nevertheless, on concrete issues, Steinem has staked some firm positions.
Female genital mutilation and male circumcision
In 1979, Steinem wrote an article about the destruction of female genitals that brought him to American public consciousness; his article, "International Crimes Against Women's Genital Damage," was published in the March 1979 issue of Ms. . The article reports on "75 million women who suffer from genital mutilation." According to Steinem, "The real reason for genital mutilation can only be understood in the context of patriarchy: men must control the female body as a means of production, and thereby suppress the independent power of female sexuality." The Steinem article contains a basic argument that will later be developed by the philosopher Martha Nussbaum.
Regarding male circumcision, he commented, "This patriarchal control restricts men's sexuality as well... That is why men are asked symbolically to surrender their sexual parts and their sons to patriarchal authority, which seems to be the origin of male circumcision, a practice that, as lawyers recognize, it is medically not necessary 90% of the time.Talking to myself, I stand with many brothers in eliminating that practice as well. "
Feminist Theory
Steinem has often voiced his disagreement with obscurantism and abstraction claimed as prevalent in feminist academic theory. He said, "Nobody cares about feminist academic writing, it's a caricature." The poor women in this academy must speak a silly language that no one can understand to accept... But I admit the fact that we have a silly mastery system that all academic encouragement is one that values ​​education, in my opinion, in an inverse ratio to its usefulness - and what you write in reverse relationships with the ability to understand it. "Steinem then chose a deconstructing expert like Judith Butler for criticism, saying, "I always wanted to make a list on the road to Yale," Careful: Future Deconstruction. "Academics are forced to write in a language that no one understands so they get a position They must say 'discourse', not 'talk' Inaccessible knowledge does not help.It's ancient. "
Pornography
Steinem has criticized pornography, which he distinguishes from erotica, writes: "Erotica differs from pornography because love comes from rape, because dignity is an affront, because partnership comes from slavery, because pleasure comes from pain." Steinem's argument relies on the difference between reciprocity versus domination, as he writes, "flashy or subtle pornography does not involve the same power or mutuality.In fact, much of the tension and drama come from the clear idea that one person dominates the other."
Regarding the issue of same-sex pornography, Steinem asserted, "Regardless of the gender of the participants, all pornography including male gay pornography is a replica of the male-female paradigm, the victim-conquerors, and almost all of them depict or imply enslaved women and masters. "Steinem also quotes" snuff movies "as a serious threat to women.
same-sex marriage
In an essay published in Time magazine on August 31, 1970, "What Would Like If Women Win," Steinem wrote of same-sex marriage in the context of the "utopian" future he imagined, writing:
What will be there are alternative lifestyles. Because population explosions show that childbirth should be kept to a minimum, parents and children will only be one of many "families": couples, age groups, work groups, mixed communes, blood-related clans, class groups, creative groups. Single women will have the right to remain single without ridicule, without the attitude that is now betrayed by "spinster" and "bachelor". Lesbians or homosexuals will no longer be denied legally binding marriages, complete with mutual support agreements and inheritance rights. Paradoxically, the number of homosexuals can become smaller. With fewer mothers being overly positive and lesser fathers holding very cruel or perfectionist virility ideas, boys will tend to reject or deny their identity as men.
Although Steinem did not mention or advocate same-sex marriage in any work or interview published for more than three decades, he again expressed support for same-sex marriage in the early 2000s, which stated in 2004 that "the notion that sexuality is okay only if ends up in repressive oppression of women - whose health depends on separating sexuality from reproduction - as well as gay men and lesbians. "Steinem is also the signatory of the 2008 manifesto," Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision For All Our Families and Relationships " extension of legal rights and privileges for various relationships, households and families.
Transgender rights
In 1977, Steinem expressed disagreement that the highly publicized sex rejuvenating surgery by tennis player Renà ©  © e Richards has been characterized as "a frightening example of what may cause feminism" or as "tangible proof that feminism is not necessary." Steinem writes, "At least, it is a diversion from the problem of widespread sexual inequality." He also writes that, while he supports the right of individuals to identify who they choose, he claims that, in many cases, transsexuals "dissections destroy their own bodies" to conform to the inevitable gender roles associated with physical body parts.. He concluded that "feminists really feel uncomfortable about the necessity and use transsexualism." The article concludes with what became one of Steinem's most famous quotes: "If the shoes are not fitting, should we change the legs?" Although clearly intended in the context of transsexuality, the quotation is often misinterpreted as a general statement about feminism.
On October 2, 2013, Steinem clarified his remarks on transgender people in an op-ed for The Advocate, writing that critics failed to consider that his essay in 1977 "was written in the context of a global protest against routine." surgical attack, called female genital mutilation by several victims. "Steinem later in the section expressed firm support for transgender people, saying that transgender people" belong to those who have undergone a transition, live a real and authentic life. Their lives must be celebrated, not questioned. "He also apologized for the pain that may be caused by his words.
