Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem - writer, activist, organizer, and one of the most inspiring leaders in the world - now tells a story she has never told before, a candid account of how her early years led her to live an on-the-road kind of life, traveling, listening to people, learning, and creating change. She reveals the story of her own growth in tandem with the growth of an ongoing movement for equality. This is the story at the heart of My Life on the Road.
Includes an introduction read by Gloria Steinem.

Critic reviews
"My Life on the Road is filled with beautifully told stories of the people she has spoken with and listened to, been changed by, helped organize, got radicalized by, could get lost in, could get found in. It is soul material, human and political, funny and touching, deeply spiritual. I began it again the day after I finished." (Anne Lamott)
"My Life on the Road is an inspiring work, a call for action. Steinem shares her life as a global freedom fighter, inviting readers to continue the journey - and the struggle." (Bell Hooks)
“Like Steinem herself, [My Life on the Road] is thoughtful and astonishingly humble. It is also filled with a sense of the momentous while offering deeply personal insights into what shaped her.” (O, The Oprah Magazine)

Over the past few decades, feminism and the women's rights movement have made tremendous strides, giving women greater opportunities in multiple areas and even confronting inclusivity issues within the movement itself. While there is still much work to be done, it is important for women to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of the brave, resilient activists who worked to make it happen. If you're looking for inspiration, look no further.

Best at predicting elections? I loved that it included a chapter dedicated to Wilma Mankiller. Texas figures big, too, in some
surprising and not so surprising ways. How did I ever forget about what Gloria Steinem has to say? Well, I didn't. But I'm glad I now realize that.

What about Debra Winger and Gloria Steinem ’s performance did you like?
I can imagine there were many who would love to take on this project. DW was such an inspired choice, her slightly gravelly voice and access to the humor and deep humanity of GS comes across beautifully. I could almost see her nodding in agreement as she read.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Several, her easy friendships with the working women and men she encounters in her travels speaks volumes. I would love to find myself sitting next to her on a long flight.Any additional comments?
If you are not familiar with Gloria Steinem, here is a good place to start. No matter what your politics may be, her kindness, loyalty, curiosity and unwavering willingness to learn from every experience is clearly a lesson in speaking the truth.Such a Good Friend.

A feminist is one who believes that you can be different yet equal, drum roll please: at the same time. You can have different genders, different abilities and still have equal rights and be of equal value. A young son recently told Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail that his mother, a teacher, worked harder than his father and that she deserved to get paid more than his father was paid, not less. In the mid 80's there was a movement to increase women's pay from .75 on the $1.00. In 2015, women have gained .04 and now make .79 on the $1.00 as compared to men. The tragedy in this inequality is that most of the poverty in America is women with dependent children. The reasons for the pay gap have nothing to do with ability, intelligence or education. So, what is the reasonable conclusion?
She's an ICON who speaks truth to power
