steinem. so it's reversed.o's going to take care of the other one, because we both grew up being caretakers. >> david and i never got to the point of calling each other husband and wife. he became very ill after a couple of years. his illness was a brain lymphoma, and that was devastating. in a way, for me, it was going back to looking after my mother, but now i was an adult and i could do it, so it was as if life had given me a chance, you know, to live over a kind of experience. i learned so much from his illness, which lasted a whole year, and from his dying. he was in a nursing home, and that's where he died. and it was, you know, the first year was awful. the first year was full of anniversaries, you know, everything is an anniversary. >> cranky feminist gloria steinem -- >> there's been a lot of effort to demonize the word "feminist." >> gloria steinem, the '60s are over. maybe you made sense when everybody was tripping, far out, man, lsd, rock on! but i think we're a little more clear headed these days,

gloria steinem joins me now from new york. welcome to the program. i have to say as somebody who grew up alongside the women's movement, this is a really impressive film. why did you decide to get behind it to support it? >> well, we've only been getting a fraction of history as you and i underand. so thoughtit was super important that people understand the incredible number and diversity of the women who composed the women's movement. it's not just three or four people. it's not about stars. it's about neighborhoods and as you just saw a woman running in a way that has allowed thousands, perhaps millions of women to enter races ever since. so you will meet all kinds of incredible heroins here that i inform us abt history and most of us i hope inspire us to keep going. >> woodruff: as you say the film does feature some well known women. you are certainly featured, gloria steinem. you're very much a part of the film. betty friedan. supreme court justices, hillary clinton but there are also ordinary women who are heroes of this film. a woman who was wo

. >> rose: we continue with gloria steinem and amy richards talking about a new television dualary called "makers: women who make america" >> i think more people today when they do resist the label feminist it's not because of the stereotypes around feminism but feeling they are not good enough to be a feminist. i hear people say if i'm going to call myself a feminist i have to interject every time something sexest is said or be willing to get fired from my job if i'm going to demand equal pay. some women feel like they don't want to take those great at risks and therefore feel they are not entitled to the label. obviously that is false am but in another generation the assumption was people weren't identifying because it was bad. and now i think the association is i can't identify because i'm not that good. >> rose: steve rattner, gloria steinem, amy richards when we continue. funding for charlie rose was provided by the following: captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: in less than four days $85 billion in aubling spe

. >>> it gives me great pleasure to present to you gloria stei m steinem. >> are we going to win?ria steinem is one of those women who once noticed aren't easily forgotten. >> we are meant to feel we are nothing unless we are standing beside a man. >> some women are becoming more militant and their organizations are grouped in a kind of federation called women's liberation. >> these women are not kidding. they are deadly serious. what they are demanding is a greater share in the political power of this nation. >> females are supposed to stay home and have kids and keep the house clean. >> i like being treated as a lady. i like having a man hold my coat, open the door for me, all the little things that i think are important to a woman. >> sure, the women's libers are sincere, the homosexuals are sincere, about you they want to change the supreme law of our land. >> what we are talking about is a revolution and not a reform. >> gloria steinem is the most visible symbol of the woman's movement. >> you understand it's not a role exchange. we're not trying to do to men what men have do

she got to gloria steinem and astor did do a story about her life, a documentary.said, nobody has done anything on the movement. somebody needs to do a story of the women's movement. so she said about looking into that and came to meet a year later. in a way i was happy because it was an amazing opportunity that the store had not been done. >> the stories told in and, share some of them. >> we really look at the movement, some of the well-known people like gloria steinem, who was a major figure in the women's movement, and some of the unknowns stories. the coal miner who was one of the first call miners, and then she was subjected to sexual harassment by her boss so she took her boss to court and fought a 13-year battle and won. the telephone operator who in the 1960's, she was a switchboard operator and wanted to make a little more money. she tried to work on the equipment. the argument was, no, women could not do that because they cannot carry the heavy equipment. it was 30 pounds for it when of course, any woman who is carried a baby could carry 30 pounds. she f

the publication of the feminism mystique by better fern and, the founder of ms magazine by gloria steinem and failure of the equal rights amendment it also tells us stories of every day women such as catherine switzer, the first woman to run the boston marathon. here is a look at the the trailer. >> honey, when was the last time you baked a cake. >> last week, dear. >> i was brought up in the betty crocker era. you had to get married and you had to have a child. >> that's what it was about, to meet the guy, to get married, to have babies, to be the president of the pta. i can't even stand going back to thinking about those days, what it was like for women. did i ever fake an orgasm, you bet i faked one. >> every place i went for interviews the only thing they wanted to know was can you type. >> your high score on the scholastic aptitude test indicates that you can become a good secretary. >> landlords felt single women couldn't eastern you have to pay for the apartment. and if you could earn enough, you must be a hooker. ♪ i feel the earth move ♪ under my feet ♪. >> it was like a tsunami,

. >> joining us now it's my great pleasure to introduce gloria steinem, co-funder of ms magazine.nd marlo thomas, activist, actress and contributing to the huffington post.coming in and braving the weather. >> i love the documentary. it's fantastic. there are bits of lost history. even though i have read chronicles in history of the feminist movement. one of the things that's striking to me is someone who now makes his living the day in and day out of politics. is it politics as we cover them on collision that can seem owe transactional. and the women's movement at this moment was such a spiritual and psychological awakening, but it was something more than politics it was as actually a genuine revolution of consciousness. i'm curious when you think when the moment happened for you that your consciousness did change. marlo? >> for me, i think it was the mail i got when i was doing "that girl." i was a single girl on television, i thought i was doing great. i knew i was the first single girl on television. i knew that was groundbreaking. what i didn't realize, the nature of what was

my wife and i ran at an event for gloria steinem recently. -- you need unity of purpose if you are going to get anything done. they were chanting about the notion that the occupy movement is male-century. -- male-centric. they had a chance that that it t mean 99% men. you have people rending this garment of unity. >> you always find there are divisions. we have written about the fact that the camp in bloomington was run by women. the unity is around a core messages of the movement. the leadership of a movement drives people batty. where are the leaders? it is more of a leader-less movement and the new left was when you have a lot of gusy in power. it is not one place. there is a unity of issues. ending inequality, making people pay their fair share of taxes, finding a way out of the student debt slavery, finding ways to keep people in their homes, stopping the evictions, making sure that those who got us into the economic mess, the bankers and wall street, be held accountable -- and getting money out of our politics. [applause] >> one place you want to occupy for sure is the white house.

. >> woodruff: and we close with a conversation with gloria steinem about the women's movement and thebs documentary, "makers: women who make america." >> we have realized that a majority of americans fully agree that women can do what men can do but we haven't yet realized that men can do what women do. >> ifill: that's all ahead on tonight's newshour.

this week, gloria steinem signed a letter along with hundreds of other women that ran an ad in the "newck pay day legislation up for vote. if elected, she would be the first out gay mayor of new york. but miss steinem says making life fair for women seems more important than breaking the barrier for one one. we now know china has done what the u.s. has not, put a tax on carbon. on tuesday, the official state newspaper announced that quote, china will proactively introduce a set of new taxation policies designed to preserve the environment including a tax on carbon dioxide emissions according to a senior official at the ministry of finance. we don't know when the tax will kick in, how high it will be or how strictly it will be enforced. we know there are reasons to be quite skeptical of china's commitment to reducing emissions but we know chinese authorities are increasingly concerned about climate change and directing more investment toward renewable energy. we know public investment in renewable energy in if u.the u. on the decline. >>> we know the citizens of a houston suburb, missour

we wanted gloria steinem and myself and robin morgan, we co-founded the women's media center six years ago and we were writing to president obama suggesting that the head of the fcc, the federal communications commission should be a woman. that's an extremely important position. it would be great to have a woman there. pressure, we have to keep pressuring. that's why a billion people rising is so important. talk about pressure. you know, you have a lot of people speaking out and we have to keep speaking out, and i think the president wants us to speak out. we have to pressure, pressure, pressure, so that there's change. >> you forecast i had promised the viewers i would ask you about whether you're coming back to the "newsroom." you said yes. i said let's ask jane about her one piece of advice on a totally different subject here for valentine's day. you mentioned ted your favorite ex-husband you put it. i know that you are dating richard perry, and so tell me about how you guys are going to spend valentine's day, the g-rated version. >> i'm going to be dancing in the streets as part of

we had gloria steinem take a shot at that last night on this program. mickey, is that what this is about as well or completely off the point? >> you know, i was reading a lot of comments about this and i'm trying to stay kind of in the middle about it for what miss mayer's motivations are but people are saying "this is a way to get us to quit. this is a layoff by telling us to come into the office." first of all, i thought that this working from home battle was done. i thought h-fs something that ten or 12 years ago everybody got comfortable with. but it is a tough economy and there are a certain number of jobs out there and employers can say "look, i want to see you, i want to know that you're at your desk." but folks also would say, look, i might be at my desk, i might be playing solitary and those meetings you want me to participate in, those are time-killers and i am much better off in an environment of my choosing. i will come into the office, will do you have a-sites, i will skype with you, i can see you on my computer screen, i can interact with
