Gloria Steinem’s Legacy Is a Rejection of Womanhood
National Review ^ | September 4, 2026 | Neeraja Deshpande

Yesterday, following the death of feminist activist Gloria Steinem at the age of 92, Netflix released her episode of Famous Last Words, which records interviews with notable people that are only to be released posthumously. After a 40-or-so-minute sit-down conversation with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk — the cameras are operated remotely by videographers who do not have audio access, so it is as private as can be — he leaves the room and, true to the series’ title, allows his guest to voice his or her last words to the public.

Steinem, especially in her heyday in the ’70s, was always known for her looks, with Vogue once having called her “the most attractive activist in Women’s Lib.” Although at the time of the Netflix recording, she no longer had the iconic streaked hair or the aviator glasses that defined her public image, she was, even in her nineties, unmistakably the same woman who went undercover as a Playboy bunny in order to expose the poor working conditions of the women in Hugh Hefner’s empire — strikingly beautiful, charming, eloquent, sincere. At the end of the episode, she looks straight into the camera and says:

Hello, you unique individuals out there . . . I wish I could meet each one of you in person, but in a way, this is what allows us now to see each other’s lives, to influence each other’s lives, to respect each other, and, therefore, to perpetuate what we hope is a global democracy. Please feel free to respond in any way you can, and please tell your own story.

She was a hot mess that is for sure.

Shittily-spent life dropped into a shitty eternity.

I am not happy Satan captured another person for hell. I am happy knowing no one escapes justice in the end however.

She certainly rejected motherhood big time.

Gloria Steinem happened because men gave their authority to women.

If men had kept their God-given authority, feminism would never have launched.

Her “legacy” is the utter garbage my mom raised us on. You better believe I was totally livid at about age 28 when I figured out all of it was complete and total bulls88t. That having a family and children was the best thing you could do with your life.

Yes, by then I had a career as a lawyer. And it was not too late for me to also marry and have children and be a mother which I consider to have been my highest calling. But I had to figure it out for myself.

I also had to figure out for myself that the Democrat family I was raised in that fought against me joining the Army JAG was insane.

I am still the only conservative in my birth family. The only one that didn’t foam at the mouth to get in line for a multiple covid shots.

The only Trump voter three times.
