Faux Fave Book: Gloria Steinem - My Life On the Road


So I had a whirlwind trip home for the holidays.  23 hours of driving in 72 hours.  It was exhausting, but never boring as I wandered in and out of my music, my friend Mr. Arnie's blog, "Hello From the Magic Tavern," available on iTunes and my new audiobook, "Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road."

Hello From the Magic Tavern (Available on iTunes)
I will cover Arnie's podcast in another blog, but the thing I listened to in its entirety is Gloria Steinam's, "My Life on the Road."  It was a beautiful telling of stories of how the road shaped her life.  From the women she met, to events she organized, her story is one of inspiration and pride in being a woman.

It was amazing as she never comes off as pompous, actually quite the opposite as she is terrified of public speaking which seems different for a feminist organizer.  She however knew her weaknesses and utilized other women's strengths to get their collective points across.

Gloria Steinam has long been a woman that I admired as she is what we all collectively know as the face of feminism.


Whether then or now, her story resonates and the part that I loved most is her really tying this all back to the fact that women are her tribe.  They are what inspire her and what has inspired her amazing life.

I highly recommend the book, which is available at Amazon.com (in the form of hardcover, paperback, audio cd or kindle) or how I chose to enjoy on iTunes.

So worth the read or the listen.  Such an incredible and amazing lady who speaks so many truths about the incredible and amazing women she has met on the road who have shaped her life.

What do you think?
