Activist and feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem died at the age of 92. The trailblazer influenced generations, making a lasting impact through her words and actions.
Steinem’s family and foundation shared the sad news on Thursday, September 3, writing a moving Instagram message: “Yesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully in her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. 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.”
As news of her passing broke, tributes to the icon started pouring in. Actress Rosie O’Donnell was one of the first celebs to honor Steinem, posting two moving messages on Instagram.
The first was a photo of the pair from an article in which O’Donnell praised actress Lena Dunham, calling her the next Steinem. Eleven years ago, she said during an interview on SiriusXM, “It’s really hard for me as a 53-year-old who was raised with the feminist movement and with ‘Our Bodies Ourselves,’ and to see there is no Gloria in the wings, until God gave us Lena Dunham. And I really feel as though she is the embodiment of, like, she’s like the child of Gloria Steinem.” And now that Steinem has passed, Rosie’s celebrating her life with this memory and the gut-wrenching caption, “No words. #legend.”
Shortly after her first post, O’Donnell shared a photo of herself, Steinem, and actress/activist Jane Fonda, writing, “Gloria – the mother of the women’s movement – we r all in ur debt.”

That’s what Gloria taught us…from mother to daughter and so on,” wrote one commenter as others added, “How lucky were we to live at the same time as Gloria. Gloria saw what held women down, and educated, fought to make it right. Dedicated her life to enlighten us”, “Gloria Steinem. You left the world better than you found it. You were a great thought leader. You made me proud to be a woman,” and “We owe her and @janefonda Icons, trailblazers. May Ms. Steinem rest in peace. You did so much. A simple thank you would not be enough.”
