I was in the attic looking for a book. I saw a plastic sheet with a number 35mm color transparencies in it. I was absolutely stunned when I held up the sheet to the light and saw about a dozen portraits of Gloria Steinem! I nearly fell down! I remember this portrait session with her, back in 1974. It was so cool to be photographing her because she was one of the more famous leaders in the Women's Movement at the time! There was a little bit of "I can't believe I am here photographing her" the day I was there! She was really nice and generous with her time while I was photographing her. Wow, what an amazing job I had!

What a wonderful photo of Gloria! The oversized glasses, high turtleneck and cigarette were
de rigeur for that time. Betsey
Great photo and story thinking about her leading the woman's movement. Joan
