Former conservative Adrienne Larkin teaches me how Gloria Steinem changed her life, from 1950s limits for women to second wave feminism, women's rights history, feminist movement history and the fight for gender equality.

So I asked my friend Adrienne Larkin, co-host of Talking Politics With Mom with her son Will, to teach me. Adrienne takes me back to 1955, when she dreamed of becoming a doctor like her mother wanted to be, and faced the devil's bargain of career versus family, Help Wanted Female ads, and a culture that told ambitious women to choose. She explains life before Gloria Steinem and after Gloria Steinem — how Steinem gave women courage, not just a voice, and why sisterhood became survival. We also talk about her daughter thinking at age nine that only women could be lawyers, the painful Lavender Massacre history with Betty Friedan and NOW, why Steinem always shared the stage with a Black woman, and what Gloria's final message about telling our stories means now. Then we connect it to 2026: Trump as a Trojan horse against women, Christian nationalism and the patriarchal backlash, Pete Hegseth and threats to women voting, and why Adrienne says don't get caught in stupid disputes. If you lived through second wave feminism or want to understand it honestly, this conversation is for you.
