Gloria Steinem Feminist Journalist Social & Political Activist Born: March 25 1934 Secretary of Social Change is an edition to your cabinet as you may have assumed but what’s yet to be decided is what kind of edition it will be. My name is Gloria Steinem; I am a Journalist, Feminist, and Social and Political Activist. In 1968 I took a job at Felker’s New York Magazine. Then in 1972 I co-founded Ms Magazine, and I wrote for the magazine until it was sold in 1987. The magazine was sold again in 2001 to the Feminist Majority Foundation where I serve as an advisor and remain the chief as one of the six founding editors. I was able to cover the Presidential Campaign of George McGovern’s where I became politically active in the feminist movement and brought other distinguished feminist to the cause. In 1971 I co-founded the National Women’s Political Caucus and the Women’s Action Alliance. I was also a member of the Democratic Socialist’s of America. Then in 1974 I co-founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women and I participated in the National Conference of Women in Houston, Texas in 1977. In 1993 I was inducted into the National Women’s hall of fame. I co-founded Choice USA in 1992 which was a non-profit organization that provided support for giving the younger generation a choice of abortion. I feel I am best suited for this position because women are just as equal as men and could be a great asset to our government if given the chance also I think I could help other countries by starting organizations that will better their situations. **Sincerely Gloria Steinem**
