I was a junior in high school when acclaimed writer and feminist activist Gloria Steinem helped found Ms. Magazine. Coming of age at a time when women and men were encouraged to question authoritative messages about gender roles and rights profoundly influenced me. So imagine my excitement a few weeks ago when I attended the 20th Annual Renfrew Center Foundation Conference, "Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future," with Gloria Steinem featured as the keynote presenter. There we were, 700 eager psychotherapists and nutritionists, who work daily on the front lines helping people struggling with eating disorders.
