As an archives assistant for the Sophia Smith Collection, I arranged the papers of Gloria Steinem who is, needless to say, a noted feminist activist, journalist, speaker, and organizer. She is also a founder, editor, and spokesperson for Ms., a magazine that has recently attempted to resume its former status as the popular, mainstream voice of feminism. Many people might identify Steinem and feminism as one and the same. Though she was not a pioneer of the women's movement, the media singled her out for her beauty and charisma; she was an articulate, telegenic representative of women's liberation. To this day, she remains a powerful symbol of feminism.
