“The truth will set you free, but first it will p* you off.”
What a quote. And what a legacy.
Gloria Steinem spent more than six decades challenging attitudes, breaking down barriers and fighting for women to have greater freedom, equality and opportunity.
She wasn’t afraid to ask difficult questions or challenge the way things had always been done.
From going undercover as a Pl***oy Bunny in 1963 to expose the working conditions women faced, to co-founding Ms. magazine and becoming one of the most recognisable voices of the women’s movement, she continually pushed for change.
Her influence went far beyond one generation. She helped change conversations around women in the workplace, financial independence, political representation and the right to determine their own futures.
At Sustainable Talent, where equality of opportunity and creating pathways for people matters to us, her story is a powerful reminder that progress rarely happens by staying quiet.
Sometimes you have to challenge.
Sometimes you have to make people uncomfortable.
And sometimes, as Gloria put it rather brilliantly, the truth will p* you off first.
A remarkable woman and an extraordinary legacy.
