Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life well told, October 20, 2004
This review is from: Gloria Steinem: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) (Hardcover)
Written in a clear and engaging style, Patricia Marcello's biography of Gloria Steinem is a fascinating account of perhaps America's most influential, and certainly the most eloquent, feminist. Steinem is widely known as the founder of Ms. magazine and a women's rights activist, but few readers know much about her personal life. Marcello gives us a powerful insight into this remarkable and intriguing woman by a careful examination of the family and forces that shaped her. Though written primarily for a young adult audience, Marcello doesn't talk down to them. A book for every student's library. R. A. Deckert, Bellingham WA
