Gloria Steinem launches the feminist magazine MS in New York.

As Phyllis is shown the need to mobilise grassroots opposition to the ERA in her home state of Illinois, Gloria Steinem is launching the feminist magazine MS in New York and attempting to fend off Bella Abzug's well-meaning attempts to promote her as a spokeswoman for the advocates of the ERA as a direct challenge to the forceful but less politically astute Betty Friedan.
