The 2011 Glamour Women of the Year awards ceremony was brimming with A-listers, with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, and Kerry Washington in attendance, per CBS News. But two of the biggest names in women’s rights came together on stage when Glamour gave its lifetime achievement award.
According to Insider, Anita Hill was responsible for presenting the award. Hill had also been honored by the magazine 20 years earlier when her addition to Glamour’s “Women of the Year” issue literally stopped the presses. But this time, Hill was honoring Gloria Steinem, saying, “A new generation is discovering this remarkable woman.”
In her acceptance speech, Steinem told the Glamour awards audience, “Whatever it is you want in the future, build it into your day … And all of us older folks will be your girl gang. We’ve got your back.” Steinem isn’t just an inspiring “older folk” for young women today — the 88-year-old has been a feminist leader for the masses ever since she first made waves in the 1960s, per Brittanica.
