Feminist Scholarship Review: Intolerance and Humanism

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions

These essays from Gloria Steinem’s first three decades of work offer a portrait of a woman who was not only one of the savviest leaders of the women’s liberation movement, but also a profoundly humane thinker with a wide-ranging intellect and irresistible wit. In “If Men Could Menstruate,” Steinem engages readers in a flight of imagination as incisive as it is hilarious. She offers first-person journalism in her underground exposé “I Was a Playboy Bunny,” provides heartbreaking memoir in the story of her mother’s struggles in “Ruth’s Song,” and stakes important positions in feminist theory in “Erotica vs. Pornography.” This is Steinem at her most provocative—and most compassionate.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1393/thumbnail.jp

The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!: Thoughts on Life, Love, and Rebellion

For decades -- and especially now in these times of crisis -- people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem\u27s gift for creating quotes that inspire action and create hope. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, up to today, Steinem\u27s words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Gloria sees quotes as \u27the poetry of everyday life,\u27 so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, Michelle Obama, and more, in this anthology of quotes that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some of your own. At the end of the book, there is a special space for each reader to add their own quotes and others they\u27ve found. Covering topics from relationships (\u27Many are looking for the right person. Too few are looking to be the right person.\u27) to patriarchy (\u27Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how patriarchy is enforced every day.\u27) and activism (\u27Change, like a tree, grows from the bottom up.\u27), plus an introduction and essays by Steinem, this is the definitive collection of her words on many of the topics that matter most today. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Gloria to readers, that they will want to share with friends.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1721/thumbnail.jp

Gloria Steinem Remembers Jeannette Rankin

In this clip from her 1995 University of Montana Presidential Lecture Feminism in Everyday Life , iconic feminist Gloria Steinem remembers meeting Montana\u27s Jeannette Rankin during a TV broadcast for the launch of Ms. Magazine, late in Rankin\u27s life, and honors Rankin\u27s legacy to the women\u27s movement as the first woman elected to the US Congress who initiated the 1919 congressional debate leading to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. This lecture was part of the Maxine Van De Wetering American Women Making History lecture series, sponsored by the UM Women\u27s Studies Program

Marilyn: Norma Jeane

The book delves into a topic many other writers have ignored—that of Norma Jeane, the young girl who grew up with an unstable mother, constant shuffling between foster homes, and abuse. Steinem evocatively recreates that world, connecting it to the fragile adult persona of Marilyn Monroe. Her compelling text draws on a long, private interview Monroe gave to photographer George Barris, part of an intended joint project begun during Monroe’s last summer. Steinem’s Marilyn also includes Barris’s extraordinary portraits of Monroe, taken just weeks before the star’s death.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1394/thumbnail.jp
