Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, one of the most potent voices of the 60s and 70s US women’s movement, has died aged 92.
Ms Steinem died at her New York home on Wednesday, "surrounded by some of the many who loved her", a statement on her Instagram page said.
It added: "Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.
"Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard.
"Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves.
"Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humour."
