  • Doing Sixty and Seventy (2006)
    Gloria Steinem became a spokesperson for issues about aging quite accidentally after declaring to a reporter on the occasion of her fortieth birthday, "This is what forty looks like. We've been lying for so long, who would know?" Because of this casual comment about her age and about the collective societal pressure to lie about our age she received an avalanche of thanks and support from other women facing age discrimination. This caused her to realize the far reaching dimensions of age oppression.

    In her inspiring essay, Doing Sixty, Steinem shares her views on age stereotyping, the unexpected liberation that comes with growing older, and defines what she perceives as the fact that women become more radical as they age. The essay also sheds light on the forces that shaped her life and for readers who have only heard bits and pieces about her the essay offers a primer on her bold and logical theories. In the essay, Steinem describes turning fifty as "leaving a much-loved and familiar country" and turning sixty "as arriving at the border of a new one" in which she looked forward to "trading moderation for excess, defiance for openness, and planning for the unknown."

    In the Preface, Doing Seventy, written when Steinem is just past seventy and twelve years after the essay was first published, Steinem explains the development of her precious sense of mortality and time.

  • Feminist Family Values (1996)

  • Moving Beyond Words: Age, Rage, Sex, Power, Money, Muscles: Breaking the Boundries of Gender (1993)
    From one of the most influential women in the country and bestselling author of Revolution from Within comes a collection of provocative, entertaining, mind-changing essays. The six pieces, three of which have never been published before, explode common assumptions and propose radical new ways of looking at human possibilities.

  • Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem (1992)

  • Marilyn: Norma Jean (1986, 1997) with George Barris, photographer

  • Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions (1983)
    Gloria Steinem speaks out provocatively through an exceptional collection of her best writings - from her now classic account of becoming a Playboy Bunny to the autobiographical "Ruth's Song", a moving tribute to her mother.

    Here are essays that give a powerful voice to the experiences of all women, yet are at the same time an intimate portrait of Gloria Steinem herself. In her profiles of famous women, she uncovers the real person behind the Jackie Onassis's media image... and shows, in a shocking piece on Linda Lovelace, how lethal pornography is to women.

    Whether it's searing observations or hilarious satire, as in "If men could menstruate", there is no subject in this stirring, important book that Gloria Steinem does not make newly fresh and vital for us all.

    Gloria Steinem represents second-wave American feminism. This new biography recounts her truly fascinating life, one that was remarkable even prior to her association with the feminist movement. Steinem was destined to succeed and showed extraordinary strength dealing with difficult family circumstances, a peripatetic upbringing, and financial straights that forced her as a teenager to support herself and her divorced, emotionally troubled mother. Brains and talent became her tickets to Smith College, travel, journalism, and worldwide fame as a feminist icon.
