Hillary Clinton mourns Gloria Steinem's death

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed deep sorrow over the passing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, describing herself as “heartsick.” Steinem, who died at her New York City home on Wednesday at the age of 92, was widely recognized as an architect of women’s equality and a leading activist in the feminist movement.

Clinton’s statement, “Oh, Gayle, I’m heartsick, as I think everyone who not only knew her but followed…,” was shared on Thursday, underscoring the broad impact Steinem had on both political and social spheres. Her career spanned decades of advocacy, journalism, and public service, earning her a place among the most influential figures in the fight for gender equality.

The loss of Steinem marks a significant moment for the feminist community and the broader public. Her legacy continues to inspire activists, policymakers, and ordinary citizens committed to advancing women’s rights worldwide.
