Gloria Steinem—writer, activist, organizer, and inspiring leader—now tells a story she has never told before, an account of her life as a traveler, a listener, and a catalyst for change.
Steinem's book makes the case for travel not as a luxury but a transformative, potentially radical act, particularly for women, so long relegated to riding behind their husbands — or staying home.
Steinem has spent her career as a hybrid journalist-activist...Her writing style reflects this professional dualism. My Life on the Road includes the reported storytelling of a great magazine article, but several of its sections are organized in long bullet points, with pithy takeaways at the end that are ripe for quoting on Twitter or reblogging on Tumblr.
