What Members Thought
This is the first of Steinem's books that I've ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hadn't before realized just how intersectional her feminist perspective is, and found it really refreshing.

I was particularly inspired by her writings on Native American activists, especially Wilma Mankiller. I highly recommend this. ...more

I loved every minute of this book and I learned so much about being a woman. Another book I would call required reading for everyone.
