“Until work is divided equally at home... children will grow up not thinking that men can be as loving and patient as women can, and that women can be as active and achieving in the world outside the home.”
All these years later, Gloria Steinem’s words still resonate—speaking to the expectations placed on women, the roles we navigate, and the work that remains to create a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive in all aspects of her life.
In 2001, Steinem joined The Junior League as a speaker at our Centennial Annual Conference, sharing her voice with women gathered to celebrate 100 years of leadership and community impact.
As we continue the conversation through Every Woman. All Things., we recognize that women’s lives are multidimensional. We are leaders, caregivers, professionals, volunteers, advocates, friends, partners, and so much more—and creating meaningful change means acknowledging the full experience of women.
We remember Gloria Steinem and honor a legacy that continues to challenge us to listen, reflect, and imagine what is possible for every woman.
