Is honorary chairperson of Democratic Socialists of America.

As an admirer of the comic book superhero Wonder Woman, she is credited as a leading voice in the protests in the late 1960s and 1970s when the character was stripped of her powers and became an ordinary woman in her series that seemed to delve into female stereotypes just as the Women's Lib movement was gaining strength. It included putting the character on the cover of the third issue of her influential feminist magazine "Ms.". As such, Wonder Woman had her powers restored as a full superhero in the comic book and has been considered a major symbol of female empowerment ever since.

Became the stepmother of Christian Bale, Sharon Bale, Erin Bale and Louise Bale, when she married their father, David Bale, in September 2000.

Columnist for New York magazine and founder of Ms. magazine, a feminist publication.
