Rising to national prominence in the 1970s, she became a leading political leader of the decade, and one of the most important heads of the women's rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s. She is the founder and original publisher of Ms. magazine, the founder of the pro-choice organization Choice USA, co-founder of the Women's Media Center, and was an influential co-convener of the National Women's Political Caucus.
