Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Gloria Steinem speaking with supporters at the Women Together Arizona Summit in Phoenix, Arizona in 2016.
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem rose to prominence in the late 60’s as a powerful voice for women’s rights as a journalist and later as founder of Ms. Magazine.
Five decades later, she is busy as ever as a writer, political activist and organizer.
Among Steinem’s strengths has always been her ability to take complicated ideas and communicate them simply – often in memorable quotes. Now she has compiled some of her best in a new book that shares the title with one of her most famous lines: “The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off.”
