My life on the road

Writer, activist, organizer, and inspirational leader Gloria Steinem delivers a candid account of her life as a traveler. My Life on the Road is the moving and profound story of Gloria's growth and the growth of a revolutionary movement for equality—and how surprising encounters on the road helped shape both. From her first experience of social activism among women in India to her work as a journalist in the 1960s; from the whirlwind of political campaigns to the founding of Ms. magazine; from the historic 1977 National Women's Conference to her travels to Indigenous territories—a life spent on the road allowed Gloria to listen and connect deeply with people, understand that context is everything, and be part of a movement that would change the world.
