Power in Equality
Gloria Steinem to speak at NCJWBCS meeting Sept. 21
As part of a national women's organization striving for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families, National Council of Jewish Women, Bergen County Section is welcoming Gloria Steinem, an iconic figure in the fight for women's rights and equality.

Steinem is a writer, lecturer and feminist activist. She was a co-founder of MS Magazine and has written many best-selling books. In addition to her many roles in advocating for the rights of women and children, she was the founding president of the Ms. Foundation for Women, a national multi-racial, multi-issue fund that supports grassroots projects to empower women and girls, and was the founder of its "Take Our Daughters to Work Day." Biography Magazine listed her as one of the 25 most influential women in America. She is a member of the National Women's Hall of Fame. Currently, she is working on a project to document the grassroots origins of the U.S. women's movement as well as working on her book, Road to the Heart: America As If Everyone Mattered, a book about her more than 30 years on the road as a feminist organizer.

The opening meeting will take place 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept 21 at Temple Emeth, 1666 Windsor Road, Teaneck. Admission is $10. For more information, call the NCJWBCS office at (201) 385-4847, or visit the website ncjwbcs.org.
