Gloria Steinem, who has died aged 92, was a writer, community organiser, political campaigner and a charismatic(有魅力的,有号召力的) feminist activist who called herself “an entrepreneur of social change”. She spent much of her life on the road(在路上,巡回中), often accompanied by equally committed fellow campaigners. Steinem loathed(厌恶,憎恨) public speaking, but during two years travelling in India in her 20s, she moved from village to village, with “a sari, a cup and a comb” in a group countering(反对,抵制,反击) religious intolerance. She said she learned then, as Gandhi taught, that a message was all the more powerful delivered “eye to eye”.(她说,正如甘地所教导的,她当时学到,面对面传递的信息会更有力量。)
格洛丽亚·斯泰纳姆去世,享年92岁。她是一位作家、社区组织者、政治活动家,也是一位魅力非凡的女权主义活动家,自称“社会变革的企业家”。她一生中大部分时间都在路上,常常有同样坚定的同伴活动家相伴。斯泰纳姆厌恶公开演讲,但在20多岁时在印度旅行的两年里,她从一个村庄走到另一个村庄,带着“一条纱丽、一个杯子和一把梳子”,加入了一个反对宗教不容忍的团体。她说,正如甘地所教导的,她当时学到,面对面传递的信息会更有力量。
Steinem, unlike some of her contemporaries(与她的一些同时代人不同), never recanted(公开放弃,撤回(信仰等)) or modified her many causes, which included civil rights, violence against women, and the struggle for equality. She continued to argue that every economics course ought to start not with production but with reproduction, and an understanding of the patriarchal(父权制的,男性主宰的) instinct to restrict a woman’s right to contraception and abortion.
与一些同时代人不同,斯泰纳姆从未放弃或改变她的众多事业,这些事业包括民权、针对妇女的暴力以及争取平等的斗争。她继续主张,每一门经济学课程都应该从再生产而非生产开始,并理解父权制限制妇女避孕和堕胎权利的本能。
She was one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken(直言不讳的,坦率的) critics throughout his rise to power. She labelled him “harasser in chief”, a man whose rhetoric and conduct ran counter to the values she had dedicated her life to advocating.(她给他贴上“首席性骚扰者”的标签,称他的言论和行为与她毕生倡导的价值观背道而驰。)
