The inspiration behind the popular BBC series, Mrs. America

Gloria Steinem had an adventurous childhood. Every autumn, her father would pack the family into the car and travel across the country, seeking their next adventure. The seeds were planted: Steinem would spend a significant part of her life on the road, as a journalist, organizer, activist, and speaker. Through vivid stories spanning her entire career, she describes her time on the campaign trail, from Bobby Kennedy to Hillary Clinton; her early exposure to social struggles in India; her organizing of grassroots movements in the United States; the taxi drivers who were "carriers of modern myths" and the flight attendants who embraced feminism; and the endless contradictions, the "surrealism in everyday life" she encountered as she traveled up and down the country. With the unique perspective of one of the greatest feminist icons of the 20th and 21st centuries, here is an inspiring, profound, and enlightening memory of a woman's lifelong journey.
