Gloria Steinem Instagram – Forty-eight years ago, I was marching down Fifth Avenue to commemorate the first United Nations-declared International Women’s Year 1975. Over 50 feminist coalitions banded together to express our demands, which included equal job opportunities and equitable wages, universal childcare, reproductive rights, civil rights for lesbians, freedom for political prisoners, and the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Nearly 50 years later, we are still marching and demanding these rights, and also still working closely in coalition across all social justice movements.
