For many women Gloria Steinem is the face of feminism. However, after 15 years of lying low, younger generations see her as a name in a history book – much like the feminist movement. Now Steinem is being jettisoned back onto the scene with a new documentary, “Gloria: In Her Own Words” and showing the world that the movement and Steinem are still alive and active.

The buzz is overwhelming for the HBO documentary produced by Peter Kunhardt and Sheila Nevins, this documentary explores the arc of her career. Starting in the 60’s with her exposé on working conditions of Play Boy Bunnies and following her evolution into feminist icon and social activist.

Gloria Steinem has been an inspiration for generations of women and now renews the spark with “Gloria: In Her Own Words”.

“Gloria: In her Own Words” premiers tonight on HBO at 9:00 p.m.
