An updated, third edition of the renowned feminist's most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword by Emma Watson.
Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, acclaimed for its witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world, as if women mattered." Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the now-famous expose, "I Was a Playboy Bunny," to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)". Her prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography that are still referenced and relevant today, and the hilarious satire, "If Men Could Menstruate" resonates as much as ever.
As Watson writes of Steinem in her foreword, "She makes what otherwise can be arduous and depressing reading into something not only relatable, but also enjoyable. . . Her plain common sense, calling things out as they are, will make you laugh out loud. This is her superpower."
Gloria Steinem is best known for her outspoken advocacy on behalf of women. She is the author of many bestselling books, including My Life on the Road, Revolution from Within, and Moving Beyond Words . She was a founding editor of and political commentator for New York Magazine and a founding editor of Ms ., which she continues to write for today.
