Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem tuvo una infancia itinerante. Cuando era pequeña, su padre solía meter a toda la familia en el coche y conducir, cada otoño, a lo largo de Estados Unidos en busca de aventuras para ganarse la vida. Y asi se planto la semilla: Steinem se dio cuenta de que crecer no tenia por que significar estar siempre en el mismo lugar. Asi comenzo una vida dedicada al viaje, al activismo y al liderazgo, a escuchar las voces de quienes inspiran el cambio y la revolucion. Mi vida en la carretera es la historia amena, conmovedora y profunda de como Gloria fue creciendo, y con ella tambien crecio el movimiento revolucionario por la igualdad, desde su primera experiencia de activismo feminista en India a su trabajo como periodista en los años sesenta; del torbellino de las campañas electorales a la fundacion de la revista Ms.Con una prosa rica y reveladora, Gloria nos recuerda que, si vivimos con la mente abierta, atentos y siempre en la carretera, podemos cambiar, aprender sobre nosotros mismos y entender a los demas.

MY LIFE ON THE ROAD

El presente libro, la más reciente aventura de la que sin duda es una de las escritoras y activistas más influyentes e innovadoras de los Estados Unidos, no sólo ofrece ideas revolucionarias, sino también visiones apasionadas y una fantasía verdaderamente desbordante. Dividido en seis ensayos, que avanzan progresivamente desde lo personal hasta lo más general, está concebido a la vez como una recopilación de textos y un volumen unitario, algo así como seis pequeñas semillas tan reconcentradas en sí mismas que, de añadirse agua a cualquiera de las partes, diríase que podrían convertirse en libros independientes. En efecto, de la sátira más salvaje al texto más íntimo, la obra avanza por un camino vigoroso y provocativo en el que se examina el universo de la mujer desde todos los puntos de vista: de la influencia de la familia en su educación al papel que desempeña la economía en su vida, pasando por la clase social, la cultura del cuerpo, los peligros de la publicidad y el paso de los años, todo ello haciendo uso de una impresionante erudición y, a la vez, creando un retrato tan divertido como escalofriante de la mujer de hoy, sin contemplaciones pero también sin acritud. Simultáneamente desmitificador y lleno de ternura, sarcástico y comprensivo, el resultado acaba traspasando las fronteras de los géneros y abriendo un diálogo que puede incluso llegar a cambiar la manera de pensar de los lectores respecto a la condición humana.

Every fall, her father would pack the family into the car and they would drive across the country, in search of their next adventure. The seeds were planted: 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, from Bobby Kennedy to Hillary Clinton; her early exposure to social activism in India; organizing ground-up movements in America; the taxi drivers who were "vectors of modern myths" and the airline stewardesses who embraced feminism; and the infinite contrasts, the "surrealism in everyday life" that Steinem encountered as she travelled back and forth across the country. With the unique perspective of one of the greatest feminist icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, here is an inspiring, profound, enlightening memoir of one womans life-long journey.THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE HIT BBC SERIES, MRS.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Gloria Steinemwriter, activist, organizer, and inspiring leadertells a story she has never told before, a candid account of her life as a traveler, a listener, and a catalyst for change.ONE OF O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINES TEN FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR | NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Harpers Bazaar St. Louis Post-Dispatch Publishers Weekly When people ask me why I still have hope and energy after all these years, I always say: Because I travel. Taking to the roadby which I mean letting the road take youchanged who I thought I was. The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into storiesin short, out of our heads and into our hearts.

They are a beacon of hope for the future.USA Today A warmly companionable look back at nearly five decades as itinerant feminist organizer and standard-bearer.

My Life on the Road abounds with fresh insights and is as populist as can be.The Boston Globe
