Summary
Madeleine Kunin, former Vermont governor, pays heartfelt tribute to Gloria Steinem, crediting her as the catalyst that empowered her to break into politics and shatter gender norms. Steinem’s message—that women could aim high, compete, and lead—ignited Kunin’s journey, shaping her leadership and inspiring her to appoint women to top roles during her tenure. This personal story reflects a broader feminist awakening: women once confined by societal expectations like “doctor’s wife” found new purpose and power through Steinem’s vision. Kunin’s legacy echoes in the careers of the women she elevated, proving how one bold voice can spark generations of change. It’s a moving testament to the enduring ripple effect of feminist activism—and a powerful reminder that empowerment begins with belief.
