Maggie Kuhn

Maggie Kuhn (August 3, 1905 - April 22, 1995) was born in Buffalo, New York. She was an American elderly rights activist. She is most famous for founding the Gray Panthers movement in 1971. She worked for nursing home reform, fought ageism and claimed that "old people constitute America's biggest untapped and undervalued human energy source." She wrote her autobiography, No Stone Unturned, in 1991. Four years later, she died of cardiopulmonary arrest in Philadelphia at the age of 89.
