Gloria: In Her Own Words blends recent interviews of Gloria Steinem in her Manhattan apartment, archival footage, photographs from throughout her life, and clips from press interviews over the years. The documentary also features archival footage of such prominent women’s movement figures as National Organization for Women (NOW) co-founder Betty Friedan, groundbreaking congresswoman Bella Abzug, and civil rights advocate Flo Kennedy. Gloria: In Her Own Words chronicles Steinem’s emergence as a driving force in the modern women’s liberation movement. The film explores her early days in Toledo, Ohio, her complicated relationship with her parents, and how those formative years may have been a motivation in her activism. The film also shares how a cancer diagnosis in her 50s marked a new phase of Steinem’s consciousness.
