The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!

In this beautifully illustrated collection of her most empowering and outrageous quotes, Gloria shares new thoughts on activism and the role that language can play in inspiring hope and instigating action. Gloria sees quotes as “the poetry of everyday life,” so she has also included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama.

My Life on the Road

Gloria Steinem—writer, activist, organizer, and inspiring leader—now tells a story she has never told before, a candid account of her life as a traveler, a listener, and a catalyst for change. The story served as the inspiration for Julie Taymor’s upcoming movie, The Glorias, set to premier Fall 2020.

Revolution from Within

Touring with Revolution from Within was an amazing experience for Gloria. Even though it was written more than fifteen years ago, people continue to write to her about their experiences battling low self-esteem. Knowing that it has ensured some that they are not crazy and that the system is crazy is exactly what the book was meant to accomplish.

Moving Beyond Words

As Gloria describes in the preface of Moving Beyond Words, this is a unique genre: add water to any of its six parts and it would become a book. It is made of seeds drawn from other short pieces that grew into bigger stories.

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983 and was the first published collection of Gloria's essays. Given that she was writing on sexual harassment, genital mutilation, unequal pay for equal work, and other humiliating inequities facing women, she often says that she wishes it hadn't still been relevant enough for a second edition. In 2019, an updated, third version with a foreword by Emma Watson became available.

Doing Sixty & Seventy

Elders Academy Press republished this updated version of "Doing Sixty" shortly after Gloria turned seventy. Gloria was inspired to publish Doing Sixty & Seventy in the larger format because of all the women who have come forth with descriptions of age oppression in their own lives. Despite the ageism they confront, and indeed perhaps because of it, women become more radical as we age.

Marilyn

Marilyn: Norma Jeane delves into the tortured spirit of the familiar cultural icon, exposing and celebrating her often overlooked charisma, intelligence, and complexity.

The Beach Book

The inside flap of The Beach Book was covered in foil so that the reader could tan his or herself! This was one of Gloria's earliest books and sprang directly from the addiction to travel she still has.

As If Women Matter: The Essential Gloria Steinem Reader

In As If Women Matter, Gloria Steinem and Ruchira Gupta bring together a selection of groundbreaking essays by Gloria which, since the time they were first written, have transcended borders and have laid the groundwork for much of modern feminist thought.

Gloria: A Life

Five decades after Gloria Steinem began raising her voice for equality and championing the voices of others, she remains a leader of the American feminist movement. Emily Mann's new play traces the progress of Steinem's extraordinary life, from her undercover Playboy Bunny exposé in the 1960s, through her founding of Ms. Magazine in the 1970s, to her activism in today's women's movement.
