When did Gloria Steinem establish the Ms. Magazine?
In 1972 Steinem founded and served as editor of Ms. magazine. Ms. addressed feminist issues including reproductive rights employment discrimination sexuality and gender roles. The magazine presented Steinem with a platform to air her views about the contemporary social scene. That same year Steinem was one of the cofounders of the Ms. Foundation for Women a nonprofit organization that pioneered the concept of giving money to programs that addressed the specific concerns of women. At that time less than one percent of foundation grants were given to programs that supported women’s issues such as domestic violence female-friendly legislation and economic disparities.
