Benjamin Harris was an English publisher born in 1673 in England. Publisher of the first text book in British America, the New England Primer, Harris was best known for his anti-catholic publications and Whig books. He edited the first multi-page newspaper in Britain, Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick and published the pamphlet Appeal from the Country to the City by Charles Blount.
In 1686, Harris moved to Boston to start the London Coffee House, which provided both men and women access to foreign newspapers and books. After he published the New England Primer and Tulley’s Almanach, he set out to publish his newspaper Publick Occurrences which contained three pages of text, with four pages left blank for others to write in pieces of news to hand around. The newspaper never published more then one article, however; due to the fact that Harris never received a license for the paper and was jailed for it.
From 1690 to 1695, Benjamin continued to run his coffeehouse and publish books, joining John Allen in partnership. Along with getting the permission to print the Acts and Laws of Massachusetts, Harris was active in community service specifically supporting the homeless shelters and orphanages. Finally, in 1695 Harris returned to London where he started a series of short-lived newspapers before publishing the London Post from 1699 to 1706. Like his birth, the details of Benjamin Harris’ death are unclear but it is known that he died sometime in 1716.
Gloria Steinem is an American social activist, writer, and editor. Since the late 1960’s, she has been a leader in the late 20th century women’s rights movement. She is also the founder of the first national women’s magazine run by woman, Ms.
Born to an antique dealer and newspaperwomen, Steinem was born on March 25, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio. For most of her childhood, she traveled with her family spending part of the years in Michigan and then spending the winters in Florida or California. Since the family never stayed in one place long enough for Gloria to be enrolled in a school, she was homeschooled by her mother. When she was eight, Steinem’s parents divorced leaving her and her mother to spend the next six years in poverty. Her mother Ruth suffered from a severe depression that eventually led her to become mentally ill. For years, Gloria took care of her mother.
At the age of 15, Gloria went to live with her sister in Washington D.C., and later entered Smith College. In 1956, Steinem graduated from Smith and won a fellowship to study in India for two years. After India, she first worked for Independent Research Service and then made a career for herself as a freelance writer. One of her most famous articles was a 1963 expose on the Playboy Club for Show magazine in which she went undercover for the piece, working as one of the “bunnies” at the club. In the late 60’s, she helped create New York magazine and wrote a column on politics. After reporting on an abortion hearing given by a radical feminist group known as the Redstockings, Steinem became more engaged in the women’s movement and expressed her views in such essays as “After Black Power, Women's Liberation.”
In 1971, along with other feminists such as Betty Friedan, she formed the National Women’s Political Caucus, which worked on behalf of women’s issues. In December of the same year, Steinem began Ms. as an insert in New York magazine which covered many important issues under her direction. In 1976 Ms. became the first national women’s magazine run by woman.
In 1986 Gloria was diagnosed with breast cancer, eventually beating the disease with treatment. In the same year she explored the life of Marilyn Monroe in the book Marilyn: Norma Jean and after Ms. was sold to an Australian company, Steinem became a consulting editor. Throughout the 90’s, Steinem published multiple books including Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem. Today Gloria is still fighting for social justice with no plan on retiring anytime soon.

Benjamin Harris
Benjamin Harris was an English publisher born in 1673 in England. Publisher of the first text book in British America, the New England Primer, Harris was best known for his anti-catholic publications and Whig books. He edited the first multi-page newspaper in Britain, Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick and published the pamphlet Appeal from the Country to the City by Charles Blount.
In 1686, Harris moved to Boston to start the London Coffee House, which provided both men and women access to foreign newspapers and books. After he published the New England Primer and Tulley’s Almanach, he set out to publish his newspaper Publick Occurrences which contained three pages of text, with four pages left blank for others to write in pieces of news to hand around. The newspaper never published more then one article, however; due to the fact that Harris never received a license for the paper and was jailed for it.
From 1690 to 1695, Benjamin continued to run his coffeehouse and publish books, joining John Allen in partnership. Along with getting the permission to print the Acts and Laws of Massachusetts, Harris was active in community service specifically supporting the homeless shelters and orphanages. Finally, in 1695 Harris returned to London where he started a series of short-lived newspapers before publishing the London Post from 1699 to 1706. Like his birth, the details of Benjamin Harris’ death are unclear but it is known that he died sometime in 1716.

Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem is an American social activist, writer, and editor. Since the late 1960’s, she has been a leader in the late 20th century women’s rights movement. She is also the founder of the first national women’s magazine run by woman, Ms.
Born to an antique dealer and newspaperwomen, Steinem was born on March 25, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio. For most of her childhood, she traveled with her family spending part of the years in Michigan and then spending the winters in Florida or California. Since the family never stayed in one place long enough for Gloria to be enrolled in a school, she was homeschooled by her mother. When she was eight, Steinem’s parents divorced leaving her and her mother to spend the next six years in poverty. Her mother Ruth suffered from a severe depression that eventually led her to become mentally ill. For years, Gloria took care of her mother.
At the age of 15, Gloria went to live with her sister in Washington D.C., and later entered Smith College. In 1956, Steinem graduated from Smith and won a fellowship to study in India for two years. After India, she first worked for Independent Research Service and then made a career for herself as a freelance writer. One of her most famous articles was a 1963 expose on the Playboy Club for Show magazine in which she went undercover for the piece, working as one of the “bunnies” at the club. In the late 60’s, she helped create New York magazine and wrote a column on politics. After reporting on an abortion hearing given by a radical feminist group known as the Redstockings, Steinem became more engaged in the women’s movement and expressed her views in such essays as “After Black Power, Women's Liberation.”
In 1971, along with other feminists such as Betty Friedan, she formed the National Women’s Political Caucus, which worked on behalf of women’s issues. In December of the same year, Steinem began Ms. as an insert in New York magazine which covered many important issues under her direction. In 1976 Ms. became the first national women’s magazine run by woman.
In 1986 Gloria was diagnosed with breast cancer, eventually beating the disease with treatment. In the same year she explored the life of Marilyn Monroe in the book Marilyn: Norma Jean and after Ms. was sold to an Australian company, Steinem became a consulting editor. Throughout the 90’s, Steinem published multiple books including Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem. Today Gloria is still fighting for social justice with no plan on retiring anytime soon.
