Gloria Steinem. Accidental activist
Description
This ABC News program introduces a Gloria Steinem unknown to many: the accidental activist behind the feminist icon. In conversation with correspondent Michel Martin, Ms. Steinem talks candidly about how covering a hearing on abortion in the days before Roe v. Wade set her feet on the path to a leadership role in the women's movement. She also discusses her decision to marry very late in life and to not have children, her mother's struggles with depression, and how she lived out her mother's unlived life.
