‘Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print' Trailer: Gloria Steinem Revisits Her Magazine Legacy
Gloria Steinem's legacy extends far beyond her literary achievements, but her beloved magazine Ms. is what really started a movement. The story of Ms. has been fictionalized onscreen in 'Mrs. America,' 'Minx,' and 'Good Girls Revolt,' and even had a real-life syndicated spinoff 'Woman Alive!' that started in 1974. The reach of Ms. is almost unfathomable — and its imprint (pun intended) on the sociocultural landscape is still being felt today. 'Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print' revisits the iconic publication through the lens of three directors: Salima Koroma, Alice Gu, and Cecilia Aldarondo. In the film, the trio each examine a different Ms. cover story to honor the legacy of the magazine. More from IndieWire 'Cloud' Trailer: 'Cure' Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa Again Proves He's a Master - This Time with a Grand Shootout Brian Cox Decided to Become a Character Actor After Visiting Hollywood: 'It Really Gave Me the Creeps' Ms. launched in 1972 and arguably revolutionized the feminist movement at the time. As the official synopsis for the documentary states, the magazine was suddenly 'bringing radical ideas to kitchen tables across the country and sparking provocative conversations about everything from politics to porn.' The documentary itself 'tells the untold story of the magazine's rise — how it defied the odds, transformed its readers, and continually fought to uphold its bold ideals in the face of cultural and political resistance.' 'Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print' features interviews with Steinem, Patricia Carbine, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Marcia Ann Gillespie, Lindsy Van Gelder, and Suzanne Braun Levine. The film premiered at Tribeca 2025 in the Spotlight Documentary section. William Ventura produces the feature, with Dyllan McGee, Amy Richards, Cindi Leive, Regina K. Scully, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, Sara Rodriguez, and Anna Klein executive producing. Steinem was recently also at the center of 2020 biopic 'The Glorias,' which was based on her bestselling 2015 book 'My Life on the Road.' Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander both portray Steinem across years of her life in the film. HBO Documentary Films additionally released 'Gloria Steinem: In Her Own Words' in 2011. 'There are more young women now who are feminist leaders than there ever were during my era,' Steinem said at the time when promoting the doc, 'and young women have better shit detectors than we ever had.' 'Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print' will premiere Wednesday, July 2 on HBO and Max. Check out the trailer, an IndieWire exclusive, below.

Mrs. Rochester competes for state title
ROCHESTER, N.Y.(WROC)- This year, a Rochester mom of two and business owner has added beauty queen to her list of accomplishments. As Mrs. Rochester, Shaina Zazzaro will compete next month in the Mrs. New York Pageant with the goal of moving on and winning the Mrs. America pageant in Las Vegas. In 2021, News 8 featured Shaina and her husband, Michael Zazzaro in a story about food truck owners finding love. Today, the Effortlessly Healthy business includes catering and meal deliveries for hospitals, seniors, and anyone looking to lose weight or choose healthier food options. Shaina told News 8 that this past year, she was a top minority and women-owned business leader in Rochester. 'We have a lot of moving parts but we want to give the Rochester community healthy chef prepared delicious food,' Shaina Zazzaro explained from the food tent at the Lilac Festival. She and her husband Michael are still side by side at outdoor events giving folks a choice, saying, 'If you want to eat healthy you come and get a healthy trash plate. If you want to splurge, you go next door to my husband and have one of his regular garbage plates.' 6-year-old Rochester fashionista's strut to be featured on hit CBS show 'I hope with the crown I create a 'Built by Resilience Tour' where I travel either the state or the country depending on which title I hold and I motivate and inspire young children and women on entrepreneurship, wellness and resilience to really teach people to believe in themselves,' she said. Twelve years ago, when Shaina quit her job as a hospital administrator to start a healthy food catering business, she says she didn't think she'd be stepping on stage as a beauty queen. But she said, life's challenges including a miscarriage, being homeless and bouncing back from the brink of bankruptcy have prepared her for this moment. 'I have grit, I have resilience and I can do anything. If i can, you can too,' she added. The Mrs. New York America pageant will be held Sunday, June 15 at the RIT Inn and Conference Center at 2:00 p.m. As part of the pageant, Shaina is participating in the Fabulous Face Online Charity Contest and is raising funds for the Junior Achievement Academy of Central Upstate New York.
