It also noted that, in lieu of flowers, Steinem asked that anyone wishing to honor her make a donation to Gloria&#8217;s Foundation, which, among providing fellowships and residencies to people working on social justice projects, also facilitates the Talking Circles.<\/p>\n<p>The death of the prominent feminist comes shortly after the deaths of other beloved figures like <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/life\/dolly-parton-death-internet-celebrity-reactions\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\">Dolly Parton<\/a>.
