NEW YORK (AP) — Gloria Steinem, the celebrated author and activist who became one of the most visible symbols and potent voices of the U.S. women’s movement and a fierce advocate for feminist causes throughout her life, has died. She was 92.

With her trademark streaked hair parted down the middle and large aviator glasses, Steinem, a co-founder of Ms. Magazine, was a hugely recognizable presence wherever she went. And she went everywhere: Much of her life as an advocate was spent on the road, speaking at college campuses and community centers, at rallies and marches.

She died Wednesday at her home in New York City, according to her and her foundation’s social media pages.

“Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard,” the posts said. “Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.”

Steinem enjoyed writing and spending time in the community in recent years, the posts said. She also hosted talking circles for hundreds of people in her home. She died just before a planned memoir was to be released this fall.

“You can’t do it on the phone or on the web,” she told The Associated Press in a 2015 interview. “You have to be there with all five senses. It should be obvious that people can’t empathize with each other unless we’re in the same room.”

(Westmoreland County, PA) The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) recently confirmed that an individual from outside of Pennsylvania tested positive for measles and may have exposed others at the New Stanton Service Plaza located on the westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike in Westmoreland County on August 17th. 

The DOH advises that anyone who may have been exposed at that service plaza, including at the Burger King, Starbucks, Sunoco, 7-11, restrooms, and dining area, to monitor for symptoms of measles and check their status of vaccinations.

The people who are most-at-risk for infection are people that are not vaccinated, and getting vaccinated is the best protection from the measles virus, and after two doses, it provides 97 percent lifetime protection.

Measles infects the lungs and spreads when a person who is infected breaths, coughs, or sneezes.

It is a highly contagious virus that stays in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours, even after the person that is infected leaves the area. 

People who are experiencing symptoms or believe they were exposed to measles, should contact their provider of health care or call the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s toll-free hotline at 877-724-3258.

Residents are encouraged to monitor for symptoms, which include cough, fever, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, which is followed by a rash that starts on the head or face and then spreads downward.

These symptoms can start 7 to 21 days after the exposure to measles, and the MMR vaccine is the only way to prevent measles.
