Gloria Steinem Volgorde van de boeken

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.”

»Eine Ausnahmeerscheinung, ikonisch, klug, unabhängig.« FAZ Sie ist eine der größten Kultfiguren des Feminismus. Vorbild für Frauen seit mehr als fünf Jahrzehnten. Bis heute setzt sich Gloria Steinem leidenschaftlich dafür ein, dass die Stimmen von Frauen gehört werden – sei es in der #metoo-Debatte oder beim Women's March in Washington. In ihren Memoiren blickt die Tochter eines durch die Lande tingelnden Antiquitätenhändlers zurück auf ein ereignisreiches Leben. Ein Leben, das weder Rast noch Ruhe kannte und in dem die Hoffnung auf ein gerechteres Miteinander von Männern und Frauen nie erlosch. Mitreißend beschreibt Gloria Steinem, wie sie zu einer der »coolsten« Frauenrechtlerinnen wurde, der es nie nur um Feminismus ging, sondern um soziale Gerechtigkeit.

Gloria Steinem's most powerful and pithy quotes, with reflections and an introduction by the feminist icon herself, in a stunningly illustrated collection.

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
