Amazing insight on equality.

Absolutely loved it. I'm binge reading all of Gloria's work. It's so good. I learned a lot about the witch burnings that I had no idea about.

Sad to hear, given her later anti-woman stance

It's sad to hear how amazingly radical Gloria Steinem used to be, knowing that she later became a slut-shaming, victim-blaming hypocrite.

Empowering the disadvantaged

Gloria speaking in the 90's. if you have never listened to Gloria Steinem before or read any of her work this would be a great introduction. She's funny too, you'll get some laughs for sure. You may have only heard about Gloria from her detractors and thus she had been villainized. Perhaps you agree with that characterization, if so I would ask why? What have you taken in from her that you can evaluate not just what you heard but what you actually read or heard from her hand or mouth? If nothing, then here is a nice short introduction.

Awesome!

Listening to these speeches in Steinem's own voice gave me hope and inspiration for the rights of women and minorities for now and in the future. I highly recommend this.
