Gloria Steinem says having it all is a myth for women
Gloria Steinem told eating disorder clinicians at Renfrew Center Foundation that the idea of women "having it all" is largely a myth. She urged men to share child rearing and said society must reject size zero and plastic surgery as the norm to reduce women's burdens. She noted early feminists were too nice and emphasized breaking silence to push change.
