Articulate, energetic and committed, she had carved out a name for herself in the 1960s and ’70s through her journalism, which included going undercover at the New York Playboy Club to expose exploitative working conditions. She was also a passionate activist, having founded, along with Brenda Feigen and Dorothy Pitman-Hughes, the Women’s Action Alliance in 1971 – a group to empower women to combat sexism in society.
