Gloria Steinem, the feminist icon and co-founder of Ms. magazine,
died on Wednesday at her home in Manhattan. Her death came as
many were still grieving the loss of another iconic woman: Dolly
Parton.

On paper, the connections between the two women seem superficial,
but for the Times Magazine writer Susan Dominus, the relationship
between their lives and impact is inescapable.

the feminist movement who was part of the team that founded Ms.
