Activist and author Gloria Steinem is an icon of the global feminist movement. She's spent her life defying stereotypes, breaking social barriers and fighting for equality. In conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, Steinem reflects on the revolutionary roots of the feminist movement, the fundamental need for intersectionality to combat prejudice, and how she overcame her fears with the support of friends. Now she urges future generations of women to advocate for each other in solidarity — and discover the freedom found in companionship and community.

Goodbye, goodbye.
To the future generation of women and men, you are the roots of change.
Now that’s a better title
@Eli Nope yeah I’ve heard that too but still they should know that males have many problems too not just the females and that’s why both genders aren’t superior to the other and instead of fighting and arguing on who is superior they should help each other instead
@Dal Cloud definitely way better
SHHHHHH WOMEN ARE SPEAKING.
Thank God, my daughters can see through this rubbish
Remember when TED talks used to be informative and inspiring. I miss those days.
Now its propaganda
Nothing on the internet that I’m aware of is or has ever been able to embody a consistent, cohesive and comprehensive view of life. It’s rather a slice of reality seen through the filter of general hate. I mean, can you imagine? Great philosophical coversation crossed with intelligence and relevance and a smattering of entertainment? Perhaps the expectation is too high
Thank God, my daughters can see through this rubbish
Cronin celebration of life. Star Wars: The Crone Wars

People are getting tired of being talked down to.
“Roots of change, the fundament of working with reality.”
“Core of principles and ethics and how to relates to male psychology.”
“Working with the earth, the perspective of a old farmer.”
“The depths of change and how it relates to us.”
….
Pick anything else, have it relate to something tangible.
Something core… not Pretending that seeding the world would do a darned thing.
There just telling people how to live there livea
The corpse of Margaret mead
is the Amazon prime show really bad? because the interviewer glossed over it so quickly that i had to rewind 3 times since she was using a lot of polite words. The polite and encouraging words needed to be said but it drowned out her “plug ” for Gloria Steinman’s book and amazon prime video. the interviewer knew everything about Gloria, she told us that, but i did not know Gloria had a prime video on Amazon. So was the interviewer really bad at promotions? or she knew the show to be really bad so she adroitly barely hinted at it.
“Too future generations of women, biological men posing as women will steal all your future achievements”
