This beautifully illustrated collection features Gloria Steinem's most inspirational and provocative quotes, accompanied by her own essays and an introduction. For decades, especially in times of crisis, Steinem's words have provided guidance, humor, and unity, inspiring people worldwide to take action. From her beginnings as a journalist and feminist activist, her quotes have empowered generations to collaborate and advocate for change. The collection addresses various themes, including relationships—"Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person."—and the patriarchy—"Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose." It also delves into activism with insights like "Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up." Steinem views quotes as "the poetry of everyday life" and includes selections from friends such as bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, and Michelle Obama. The book encourages readers to reflect, laugh, and even create their own quotes, featuring a special space at the end for personal contributions. This collection is both a timeless resource and a timely gift of hope, perfect for sharing with friends.
