What happened

Gloria Steinem died on September 2 at the age of 92. In 2015, she told NPR's Fresh Air that she had entered a new phase in life in which "you can do what you want."

Context

Steinem's reflection on late-life freedom underscores a key theme in her decades-long advocacy: the ways social and gender demands constrain individual choice and autonomy. Her characterization of aging as liberation from constraints reflects concerns central to feminist thought regarding how gender roles limit opportunity across the lifespan.
