"Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood. Every fall, her father would pack the family into the car and they would drive across the country, in search of their next adventure. The seeds were planted: Steinem would spend much of her life on the road, as a journalist, organizer, activist, and speaker. In vivid stories that span an entire career, Steinem writes about her time on the campaign trail, from Bobby Kennedy to Hillary Clinton; her early exposure to social activism in India, and the decades spent organizing ground-up movements in America; the taxi drivers who were "vectors of modern myths" and the airline stewardesses who embraced the feminist revolution; and the infinite, surprising contrasts, the "surrealism in everyday life" that Steinem encountered as she traveled back and forth across the country. With the unique perspective of one of the greatest feminist icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, here is an inspiring, profound, enlightening memoir of one woman's life-long journey"--… (plus d'informations)

Astonishingly well-written and wonderfully profound. I can't tell if her ability to connect with people comes from her life as an organizer, her trade as a writer, or her natural demeanor. But her travels in life have allowed her to realize that the caste systems throughout the world--racism, sexism, homophobia, wealth inequality--have not just a shared root, but a human fallout. The stories are amazing, especially about her father, life on the road, life in academia, and the final one involving a lifelong friendship with a Native American friend. Highly recommended. ( )

The first Gloria Steinem book I have read. Really interesting and well written. ( )

An engaging collection of recollections anecdotes. The readers who want detailed dissection of a feminist movement or beyond Steinem's public persona might find this wanting. For me, to whom Steinem's name is only vaguely familiar, this was the perfect vehicle for getting more acquainted with some of the behind-the-scenes of second wave feminism in the US. The lightness with which Steinem recounts such a vast movement makes this much more effective in reaching a wider audience.

What I found particularly interesting were:
- the minutiae of organising,
- the travelling,
- the sense that each of the described local events and meetings feel almost insignificant and yet on a national level really does become a discernible movement,
- how some people eventually get so well-known that when they need to recall facts from their own lives, they can just google it. ( )

This is a readable and wide ranging book covering Gloria Steinem's life through her travels. She has a really great narrative voice, she comes across as warm, persuasive and likeable and you can see how she got things done. Her life is fascinating, as are the fights she has been involved in, and this book is a great introduction to both those things. I found it a really inspiring book. ( )

Dr. John Sharpe of London, who in 1957, a decade before physicians in England could legally perform an abortion for any reason other than the health of the woman, took the considerable risk of referring for an abortion a twenty-two-year-old American on her way to India.

Knowing only that she had broken an engagement at home to seek an unknown fate, he said, "You must promise me two things. First, you will not tell anyone my name. Second, you will do what you want to do with your life." Dear Dr. Sharpe, I believe you, who knew the law was unjust, would not mind if I say this so long after your death: I've done the best I could with my life. This book is for you.
