Gloria Steinem speaks at a rally in New York on Feb. 29, 1968. Steinem, the feminist crusader who, in galvanizing the modern women's movement, helped millions of women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at home, at work and in society at large, died on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, at her home in New York City. She was 92. (Robert Walker/The New York Times)
