An essential iconic reference within the women’s rights movement, since the sixties Gloria Steinem’s activism –marked by independence and rigour– has been a driving force for one of the major revolutions of contemporary society.

Over six decades, her firm, boundless commitment to feminism, her deep reflection and her willingness to include all voices have promoted equality as one of humanity’s fundamental values.
