- On Wednesday, journalist and activist Gloria Steinem died at her New York home at age 92, her foundation confirmed, stating she passed away peacefully without disclosing a cause of death.
- Steinem gained early national attention in 1963 working undercover as a Playboy Bunny for Show magazine, then co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972 to champion gender equality and reproductive rights.
