We mourn the passing of Gloria Steinem, a trailblazing journalist, author, organizer and lifelong advocate for women.

For more than five decades, Gloria used her voice to challenge inequality, elevate women’s stories and help create a world where women could have greater opportunity, choice and agency. We are honored to name Gloria Steinem as our 2026 Women Who Inspire Impact Award honoree. While we are deeply saddened that we will not have the opportunity to celebrate her with us this September, we will continue to honor the extraordinary legacy she leaves behind with a special celebration and tribute. Her work changed generations. Her voice opened doors. Her example reminds us that lasting change begins with the courage to speak, act and keep moving forward. Thank you, Gloria, for a life well lived and a legacy that will continue to inspire. With gratitude and deep respect, Dress for Success Worldwide
