Gloria Steinem Libros

Cuando la gente me pregunta por qué aún mantengo la esperanza y mi energía después de todos estos años, siempre digo lo mismo: "porque viajo". Emprender un camino, y con esto quiero decir que sea el camino quien te lleve a ti, ha cambiado mi forma de ser. La carretera es complicada, de la misma forma en que la vida es complicada. Nos aleja de la negación y nos conduce a la realidad, nos aparta de la teoría y nos lleva a la práctica, elimina las precauciones y te pone en marcha, te hace abandonar la estadística para entrar de lleno en las historias. En otras palabras, te saca de tu cabeza y se adentra en tu corazón.» Gloria Steinem tuvo una infancia itinerante. Cuando era pequeña, su padre solía meter a toda la familia en el coche y conducir, cada otoño, a lo largo de Estados Unidos en busca de aventuras para ganarse la vida. Y así se plantó la semilla: Steinem se dio cuenta de que crecer no tenía por qué significar estar siempre en el mismo lugar. Así comenzó una vida dedicada al viaje, al activismo y al liderazgo, a escuchar las voces de quienes inspiran el cambio y la revolución. Mi vida en la carretera es la historia amena, conmovedora y profunda de cómo Gloria fue creciendo, y con ella también creció el movimiento revolucionario por la igualdad, desde su primera experiencia de activismo feminista en India a su trabajo como periodista en los años sesenta; del torbellino de las campañas electorales a la fundación de la revista Ms. Con una prosa rica y reveladora, Gloria nos recuerda que, si vivimos con la mente abierta, atentos y siempre «en la carretera», podemos cambiar, aprender sobre nosotros mismos y entender a los demás

An updated, third edition of the renowned feminist’s most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword by Emma Watson. Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, acclaimed for its witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world, "as if women mattered." Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the now-famous exposé, "I Was a Playboy Bunny," to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)". Her prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography that are still referenced and relevant today, and the hilarious satire, "If Men Could Menstruate” resonates as much as ever. As Watson writes of Steinem in her foreword, “She makes what otherwise can be arduous and depressing reading into something not only relatable, but also enjoyable... Her plain common sense, calling things out as they are, will make you laugh out loud. This is her superpower.”

For decades, Gloria Steinem has led a social revolution against injustice. In Revolution from Within -- called "the ultimate self-help book" by the Los Angeles Times -- she sets out to restore the self-authority that such injustice has undermined. "A fine triumph...Succeeds in holding the feminist course while expanding its horizons to include everyone." --Time "Revolution from Within has a special sweetness -- that of triumph. Gloria Steinem dared to look behind the bravely smiling face she presented to the world for many years to encounter a not-so-bravely-smiling inner self. This meeting will strike sparks of recognition and encouragement." --Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple
