Gloria Steinem is an American journalist, feminist, and social activist. Born in Ohio, early in her life her mother became an invalid and her father left the family. She followed her dreams and became a writer, organizer, and reporter. Her work focused on equal rights for women, which later helped found the National Women’s Political Caucus and feminist magazine Ms. In her op-ed piece, Women Are Never Front Runners, Steinem asks us to imagine a female Barack Obama.
