My Life on the Road

by Gloria Steinem - Memoir, Nonfiction

Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood. Every fall, her father would pack the family into the car and they would drive across the country, in search of their next adventure. Steinem would spend much of her life on the road, as a journalist, organizer, activist and speaker. In vivid stories that span an entire career, Steinem writes about her time on the campaign trail; her early exposure to social activism in India; organizing ground-up movements in America; and the infinite contrasts, the “surrealism in everyday life” that Steinem encountered as she traveled back and forth across the country.
