September 3, 2026 at 7:03 PM MT · via KUER · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Activist and journalist Gloria Steinem, who died at 92, crossed paths with early Latter-day Saint feminists including historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich during the 1970s women's movement, according to KUER. Steinem's work influenced a generation of Mormon feminists who sought to reconcile their faith with calls for gender equality, even as Church leaders resisted the Equal Rights Amendment. Her death has prompted reflection on the fraught history of feminism within the LDS community.
