Feminist Icon Breaks Fashion Rules, Beautifully!

I've loved Gloria Steinem since I was a little baby feminist. Very shallow as a teen, I just wanted to look like her. Then later, I started listening to and reading her ideas.They helped shape my own idea of what kind of woman I wanted to be.

She has aged so gracefully. Married late in life, then widowed so quickly, she still is out there, showing us what a strong woman can look and sound like.

This fashion tidbit just tickled me: At the recent gala for Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year, where she was one of the honorees, Ms. Steinem garnered many compliments for her simple yet stunning outfit. When asked about it, she replied "I'm wearing exercise pants." Hee! It looks like they may well be, but she's carried off the look beautifully.

Keep going, Gloria. Age 77, and so Not Dead Yet!
