On March 22, 1998, Steinem published an op-ed in "The New York Times" ("Feminists and the Clinton Question") in which, without actually challenging accounts by Bill Clinton's accusers, she claimed they did not represent sexual harassment. This was criticized by various writers, as in the Harvard Crimson and in the Times itself. In 2017, Steinem, in an interview with the British newspaper "The Guardian", stood by her 1998 New York Times op-ed, but also claimed "I wouldn’t write the same thing now."
