Literature Gloria Steinem: West Cork Literary Festival
One of the most anticipated events was a talk from feminist activist Gloria Steinem on Saturday. It was the 82-year-old’s first visit to Ireland and there was a significant sense of expectation as the room filled with women (and a few men) of all ages.
Steinem was given a rapturous welcome. She urged women to tell their own stories, saying that all movements are about “people telling the truth about their lives”.
