Born on March 25, 1935, in Toledo, Ohio, as the younger of two daughters, Steinem did not attend school regularly until around seventh grade due to her father's work as a traveling antique dealer and the subsequent frequent movement of her family.
“That speak-out was the beginning of activism for me,” Steinem, who had undergone a secret illegal abortion herself at age 22, told the AP in an email in 2022, reflecting on the reversal of Roe v Wade.
