“I can’t tell you how glad I am that you exist.” —Gloria Steinem on the SMCR.

A few weeks ago the SMCR presented its first Making Menstruation Matter Award to Gloria Steinem at its biennial conference at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. The full video of the ceremony and her remarks will be posted shortly, but Ms. Steinem’s opening statement, quoted above, set the stage for her talk, as she went on to pay a warm tribute to the Society by stating, “Thank you for making it OK to talk about menstruation.”

The entire gathering lived up to the tone and quality of the opening celebration as future posts and video links will demonstrate.

Stay tuned!
