Gloria Steinem's birthday is the perfect occasion for a #womenshistorymonth staff pick: "I read this book as part of the feminist book club Emma Watson initiated. It's an incredible journey. I was inspired by Steinem's resourcefulness, generosity of spirit, and the compassion she summoned for everyone she encountered, including her antagonists. The book's also a great history of recent feminism, revealing the conflicts that arose within the movement and the struggles and triumphs of leaders like Wilma Mankiller and Bella Abzug. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GLORIA! Thank you for this book and for giving your life to the cause!" -Kaitlyn #staffpick #gloriasteinem #feminism #wilmamankiller #bellaabzug #memoir #mylifeontheroad (at BookPeople)
