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 (and Betty Friedan) 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.  Sources: conspiracyshewrote.com/episodesInbox: conspiracyshewrote@gmail.comInstagram: @unladylikemediaWebsite: conspiracyshewrote.comPatreon: The Cabal Conspiracy, She Wrote is an Unladylike Media production written and produced by Cristen Conger.
