The feminist icon spoke with [_Elle_ UK ](http://www.elleuk.com/life-and-culture/culture/longform/a34457/gloria-steinem-feminism-interview/)about her series _WOMAN_, and also offered candid remarks about President Donald Trump and self-confidence. Steinem described Trump’s November 2016 electoral victory a “coup,” and explained that she saw it as an eye-opener. “‘There are various leaders who are right wing, antifeminist and anti-equality around the world who’ve put an end to the idea that there is a post-racist or post-feminist era,” she said. “They’ve unified and electrified people in a new way.” Now, the challenge is combatting that energy, and even though the women’s movement has come a long way from where it started, it still has a long way to go. “We know that we are not crazy we know the system is crazy – a very important realization,” Steinem said. Her advice this International Women’s Day is simple: “I would just say to individual women trust your own sense of what needs to be done, reach out for support from other women and men,” she said. “A beginning of a movement is a chosen family, it grows and grows.” \[[_Elle_ UK](http://www.elleuk.com/life-and-culture/culture/longform/a34457/gloria-steinem-feminism-interview/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4695482/gloria-steinem-international-womens-day/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4695482/gloria-steinem-international-womens-day/"},"headline":"Gloria Steinem Has Some Important Advice This International Women's Day","datePublished":"2017-03-08T18:32:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:07.334Z","description":"'A beginning of a movement is a chosen family, it grows and grows'","url":"https://time.com/4695482/gloria-steinem-international-womens-day/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte323e6b7ed0a3e77/6988b4228fd2ee1d23355498/gloria-steinem-womens-march.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kate Dwyer","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/kate-dwyer/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte323e6b7ed0a3e77/6988b4228fd2ee1d23355498/gloria-steinem-womens-march.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Equality Now's 3rd Annual \"Make Equality Reality\" Gala - Arrivals","caption":"Equality Now's 3rd Annual \"Make Equality Reality\" Gala - Arrivals","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4695482/gloria-steinem-international-womens-day/","name":"Gloria Steinem Has Some Important Advice This International Women's Day"}}]}] ```
