This book details the life and activism of Gloria Steinem, using
her life as a lens through which readers can examine the evolution
of women's rights in the United States over the past half-century.
This work traces the life and career of feminist activist Gloria
Steinem, providing an examination of her life and her efforts to
further equal opportunity among all people, especially women, in
the United States from the second half of the 20th century to the
present. It follows Steinem in a primarily chronological fashion to
best convey the impact of her own efforts as well as the changing
nature of women's status in American society during Steinem's
half-century as an active reformer and public figure. The book
notably includes her work with Ms. Magazine and details of her
personal life. This book's wider coverage of Steinem's life, from
her early childhood to the present, adds to previous works, which
tend to stop with the end of the heyday of the women's movement and
the rise of the Conservative movement in the early 1980s. With one
of the defining aspects of Steinem's work being her lifelong
commitment to women's rights and human equality, the treatment of
her whole life helps readers understand the full extent of both her
commitment and impact. More than just a biography, this book
presents a life that is at once an engine for the change Gloria
Steinem sought to achieve and an example and inspiration for future
activists The text offers lessons from the past as guidance for the
future 20 sidebars provide intriguing details about Steinem's life
and accomplishments Five primary source documents give readers a
sense of Steinem's powerful voice and her ability to speak truth to
power
