To mark International Women's Day, veteran feminist campaigner Gloria Steinem talks to Witness History about the launch 50 years ago of the first magazine in America to be owned, run and written by women. Called Ms Magazine, it covered issues such as equal rights, abortion and domestic violence in a way that no other magazine had before. And with its glossy covers featuring the likes of Wonder Woman, it helped bring feminism into the mainstream. Co-founder Gloria Steinem tells Louise Hidalgo it's one of the projects of which she's most proud.
