"Imagery has a purpose but use it to teach. Once you consume an image it's always with you" said Gloria Steinem, one of the most influential writers, lecturers, editors and activists of our time.

Steinem helped found numerous organizations including the Women's Action Alliance, the National Women's Political Caucus, Voters for Choice, Choice USA, and the Ms. Foundation for Women.

My hero spoke last night at Columbia University's 'Bodies in Motion: Images of Women in Film & Video'. Both audience and guests were trying to think of one single image which accurately portrays women.
