Gloria Steinem, CIA Asset?
Was Gloria Steinem, the face of the Women’s Liberation movement and founder of Ms. magazine, in league with the CIA to neutralize second-wave feminism? That’s what a small group of feminists alleged in 1975—but why? Cristen unravels the kernels of truth and valid suspicions regarding her CIA connection and path to becoming a feminist celebrity and activist icon from the infighting and state surveillance-induced paranoia that made the plot seem so plausible.
