How far along is everyone in the book so far?

70% in my Kindle. Hair-drying turned out to be a really useful moment to catch up!

I just read the chapter on the '77 NWO Conference in Houston. WOW! Would have loved to have been at that event. Gratitude for all the women who were there. Gloria talked about the impact it had on her life - thinking about her life as 'before' and 'after' the conference. Powerful!

[Amber]

I barely got it yesterday from amazon and I am on page 46. I'm loving the book so far it's very enlightening and you'll laugh at parts and others you will want to cry l. absolutely loving it

[Cami]

starting chapter 4

[Charlotte]

I have the online version only at my university, and I just surveyed the intro so far. I look forward to starting it during the weekend! Gloria Steinem is mentioned in another book I have to read for class on the realignment of American politics during the 1960s and the fight for women's rights, and it just fueled my curiosity for the author's journey.

[Adrienne]

I'm on chapter 3. I think she was lucky to have such a good father who sounded to be laid back and understanding.
I highlighted a few things about Native American women because I am a Native from Canada. I am so glad Native people are mentioned in this book. :)
This is the first book by Gloria Steinam I bought and I love her, this was a great choice for the book club.

[Ila]

Reading about her interactions with Hilary Clinton in Chapter 5. 60% done already and so inspired.

[Alexandria]

Halfway through and really enjoying it so far. I didn't know much about Gloria Steinem before this, so for me it's interesting to learn about all the things she's done.

I finished it! For now I don't really have the time to write a full review which I'll try and have ready in time for discussion. However, oh, man, I really enjoyed the book. Sure, it had its ups and downs - for example, I got a bit lost at the political campaigns chapter. Not really my cup of tea. It was interesting but I totally lack the knowledge on US politics and names. However, she gained me back towards the end of the book. She has had a truly inspiring life. It is a rather dense book if your read it the right way, so maybe not for everybody, but it definitely got me on track for more. :D

Just bought my copy! How is everybody finding it? Is it as good as it looks? :)

[Alison]

Just finished mine! I finished it in three days! Very inspiring and enlightening story.

[Renee]

I started reading it yesterday and even though I just started it, I am already loving it! I love the prelude because it makes us realize that we should not judge and through traveling and having an open mind, we can encounter incredible people. Through those people, we learn more about ourselves. This is just the beginning and it is already teaching me so much.

[Nadia]

I'm on page 285 which I'm thrilled about because I haven't been able to finish a book for the past year. The writing is so great!

[Michelle]

I am almost done! Just a few more pages <3

[Tina]

46% done, I only started reading it 3 days ago. Trying to finish before discussion time!

[Connor]

[Jennifer ⋆˙⟡♡]

I'm on chapter five ! I'm really reading it slowly just because I found myself having to put the book down sometimes to think, and I love it :) xx

[Aimee]

I've got about 5 pages then the afterword left. This book has shown me (yet again) how little i know of the world i live in and the people i share it with. So many other activists that i'll do more reading on!!

[Michele]

Oh, I'm all done...

[Kristin]

I just finished Chapter 4 last night, the chapter about cabbies and Flight Attendants. I had to put the book down and tell myself to go to sleep. It's so good.

[Barbara]

Hi, I read about this book club yday evening and ordered the book right away,I should have it by tuesday night/wed morning at least.

[Morgan]

I started this book and haven't gotten very far. The dedication to the doctor for performing an illegal abortion put a bad taste in my mouth since I do not believe in performing abortions for convenience. It made me distrust the author and not really want to know more about her. Maybe I'll pick it back up.

[Simon]

I finished it last week, and I'm starting over! Haha ;) It's such an amazing first book to read about feminism and I cant wait to discuss it with you guys...

Hi Noor, user Amal has previously shared a link to the PDF document in her dropbox if you are unable to obtain a copy of the physical book.

[Lizzie]

I got my book from the library last week and read the prelude and introduction. I am trying to read a few pages each night. I am a library media specialist in an elementary school and reading 2 fiction 4th grade novels at the same time so slow going. The book appears to be interesting at this point.

[Sylvia]

Just finished chapter five. Trying to finish the whole book this week.

[Jess]

Arg I've ordered it in from my local library but every copy is either borrowed or reserved. When I finally get it I'M GOING TO READ LIKE CRAZY!!!

[Lene]

I am listening to the audio book from Audible. I am 4 hours in of about 9.5 hours and have started ch. 4 "one big campus". It is interesting!

[David]

I'm a little over halfway through Chapter Five. Which is also a little over halfway through the book.

[Gabriela]

Also on chapter 5 and trying to wrap it up between today and tomorrow, just in case the discussion starts anytime soon.

I started reading it on Feb 25( shipping took six weeks) and finished it on Mar 5. So I was rather fast, but I really liked reading it, I still love to turn pages in it.
