Known for her undercover journalism in the 1960s, founding Ms. magazine in 1972, adn her long career in politics, she was praised by outlets like The New York Times and the Associated Press as a champion of equality and modern feminism. prominent figures, including Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, honored her contributions. However, critics pointed out her support for abortion-rooted in her own illegal abortion-and argued her brand of feminism undermined traditional family values, motherhood, and femininity. These voices also criticized how her activism contributed to societal shifts they see as damaging. Mainstream coverage largely focused on her positive impact, omitting or downplaying opposing perspectives that highlight the controversies and divisions surrounding her legacy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Gloria Steinem\u2019s death put the country\u2019s division on full display.<\/p>\n<p>With Wednesday\u2019s passing of the nation\u2019s most prominent pioneer of modern feminism, liberal news organizations circled the wagons around a progressive icons.<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the political spectrum, though \u2014 the <em>other<\/em> half of the country\u2013 things were considerably different, even if the establishment media didn\u2019t report it.<\/p>\n<p>The facts of Steinem\u2019s life are reasonably well known.
