My Life on the Road

Gloria Steinem spent most of her life on the move, organizing, listening, and learning from people in living rooms, campuses, and taxicabs across America. In this memoir she gathers those decades of travel into a meditation on how being on the road shaped her feminism and her belief in the power of simply showing up and paying attention. Warm and discursive, it opens with her restless father and returns often to her mother, and it became the inaugural pick of Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf book club.
