<div>Essays from the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author who inspired the film The Glorias, a &ldquo;woman who has told the truth about her life and ours&rdquo; (Los Angeles Times). With cool humor and rich intellect, Gloria Steinem strips bare our social constructions of gender and race, explaining just how limiting these invented cultural identities can be. In the first of six sections, Steinem imagines how our understanding of human psychology would be different in a witty reversal: What if Freud had been a woman who inflicted biological inferiority on men (think &ldquo;womb envy&rdquo;)? In other essays, she presents positive examples of people who turn gendered stereotypes on their heads, from a female bodybuilder to Mahatma Gandhi, whose followers absorbed his wisdom that change starts at the bottom. And in some of the most moving pieces, Steinem reveals some of her own complicated history as a writer, woman, and citizen of the world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>

<div>Newly updated: The bestseller &ldquo;that could bring the human race a little closer to rescuing itself&rdquo; from the subject of the film The Two Glorias (Naomi Wolf). Without self-esteem, the only change is an exchange of masters; with it, there is no need for masters. When trying to find books to give to &ldquo;the countless brave and smart women I met who didn&rsquo;t think of themselves as either brave or smart,&rdquo; Steinem realized that books either supposed that external political change would cure everything or that internal change would. None linked internal and external change together in a seamless circle of cause and effect, effect and cause. She undertook to write such a book, and ended up transforming her life, as well as the lives of others. The result of her reflections is this truly transformative book: part personal collection of stories from her own life and the lives of many others, part revolutionary guide to finding community and inspiration. Steinem finds role models in a very young and uncertain Gandhi as well as unlikely heroes from the streets to history. Revolution from Within addresses the core issues of self-authority and unjust external authority, and argues that the first is necessary to transform the second. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images from the author&rsquo;s personal collection, as well as a new preface and list of book recommendations from Steinem.</div>

Revolution from Within

<div>This New York Times bestseller from the legendary feminist featured in the film The Two Glorias is as relevant today as when it was first published. Spanning two decades&mdash;from the early sixties to the early eighties&mdash;the pieces in Gloria Steinem&rsquo;s diverse, stimulating, and often prescient first collection dare to ask how our world might change for the better if we each behaved &ldquo;as if everyone mattered.&rdquo; An early assignment as a &ldquo;girl reporter,&rdquo; going undercover as a Bunny in Hugh Hefner&rsquo;s Playboy Club, becomes an eye-opening expos&eacute; of appalling work conditions and sexual harassment. As Steinem observed, &ldquo;I think Hefner himself wants to go down in history as a person of sophistication and glamour. But the last person I would want to go down in history as is Hugh Hefner.&rdquo; In addition to &ldquo;I Was a Playboy Bunny,&rdquo; the essays in this collection challenge the practices and preconceptions that marginalize, exclude, exploit, and victimize women. Steinem understands that the political is always personal, and vice versa, and as such her writings range from the polemical&mdash;&ldquo;Erotica vs. Pornography&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Politics of Food&rdquo;&mdash;to the deeply personal&mdash;&ldquo;Ruth&rsquo;s Song,&rdquo; a moving tribute to her mentally ill mother&mdash;to sharp satire like &ldquo;If Men Could Menstruate.&rdquo; One of the first to address topics such as female genital mutilation and transgenderism, Steinem has truly earned the right to be called a feminist pioneer, and this volume is both a testament to her legacy in the fight for equality and an entertaining, thought-provoking journey through the lives of modern women.

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions

<div>The feminist icon and New York Times&ndash;bestselling author offers an intimate appraisal of the ultimate sex symbol&mdash;and the real woman behind the images. Few books have altered the perception of a celebrity as much as Marilyn. Gloria Steinem, the renowned feminist who inspired the film The Glorias, reveals that behind the familiar sex symbol lay a tortured spirit with powerful charisma, intelligence, and complexity. This national bestseller delves into a topic many other writers have ignored&mdash;that of Norma Jeane, the young girl who grew up with an unstable mother, constant shuffling between foster homes, and abuse. Steinem evocatively recreates that world, connecting it to the fragile adult persona of Marilyn Monroe. Her compelling text draws on a long, private interview Monroe gave to photographer George Barris, part of an intended joint project begun during Monroe&rsquo;s last summer. Steinem&rsquo;s Marilyn also includes Barris&rsquo;s extraordinary portraits of Monroe, taken just weeks before the star&rsquo;s death. &ldquo;An even-handed introduction to the Monroe phenomenon.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal</div>

Marilyn: Norma Jeane

<div>Reflections on women&rsquo;s aging from the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author who inspired the film The Glorias. One day I woke up and there was a seventy-year-old woman in my bed . . . Gloria Steinem has been an eloquent and outspoken voice for women&rsquo;s rights and equality for more than four decades. In Doing Sixty &amp; Seventy she addresses an essential concern of people everywhere&mdash;and especially of women: the issue of aging. Whereas turning fifty, in her experience, is &ldquo;leaving a much-loved and familiar country,&rdquo; turning sixty means &ldquo;arriving at the border of a new one.&rdquo; With insight, intelligence, wit, and heartfelt honesty, she explores the landscapes of this new country and celebrates what she has called &ldquo;the greatest adventure of our lives.&rdquo; While appreciating everybody&rsquo;s experiences as different, Steinem sees these years as charged with possibilities. Dealing with stereotypes and the &ldquo;invisibility&rdquo; that often accompany a woman&rsquo;s senior years can be as liberating as it is frustrating. It frees women as well as men to embrace that &ldquo;full, glorious, alive-in-the-moment, don&rsquo;t-give-a-damn yet caring-for-everything sense of the right now.&rdquo; This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>

Doing Sixty & Seventy

<div>An updated edition of the guide to understanding rape as a cultural phenomenon, with survivor resources and strategies for addressing the epidemic. With the advent of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, and almost daily new reports about rape, both on and off campuses, Robin Warshaw’s I Never Called It Rape is even more relevant today than when it was first published in 1988. The sad truth is that statistics on date rape have not changed in more than thirty years. That our culture enables rape is not just shown by the numbers: the outbreak of complaints against alleged rapists from Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein to Matt Lauer and President Donald Trump has further amplified this horrifying reality. With more than 80,000 copies sold to date, I Never Called It Rape serves as a guide to understanding rape as a cultural phenomenon—providing women and men with strategies to address our rape endemic. It gives survivors the context and resources to help them heal from their experiences, and pulls the wool from all our eyes regarding the pervasiveness of rape and sexual assault in our society. Featuring a new preface by feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and a new foreword by Salamishah Tillet, PhD, Rutgers University Professor of African American Studies and Creative Writing.</div>

I Never Called It Rape

<div>From a gay man secretly mourning his lover's suicide in Morocco to a young woman denied schooling because of religious discrimination in Iran, Arab Spring Dreams spotlights some of the Middle East's most outspoken young dissidents. The essayists cover a wide range of experiences, including premarital sex, the lack of educational opportunities, teenage marriage, and the fight for political freedom. They also highlight how repressive laws and cultural mores snuff out liberty and stifle growth and consider how previous movements - particularly the American civil rights struggle - might be channeled to effect change in their own countries. Beautifully written and profoundly moving, these stories present a decisive call for change at a crucial point in the evolution of the Middle East.</div>
