"...powerful and necessary inspiration for the contemporary listener." (AudioFile magazine)

An updated third edition of the renowned feminist’s most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword written by Emma Watson and new material written and read by Gloria Steinem.

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, acclaimed for its witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world, "as if women mattered". Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the now-famous exposé, "I Was a Playboy Bunny", to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)". Her prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography are still referenced and relevant today, and the hilarious satire, "If Men Could Menstruate”, resonates as much as ever.

As Watson writes of Steinem in her foreword, “She makes what otherwise can be arduous and depressing reading into something not only relatable, but also enjoyable.... Her plain common sense, calling things out as they are, will make you laugh out loud. This is her superpower.”

Ever relevant

A must listen to for every person. Great collection of stories in each chapter and actionable recommendations at the end.

Timeless. Inspiring. Important.

Although Gloria wishes her words are not still as accurate and applicable today as they are... She is a beacon of wisdom and bravery and inspiration. Always.

Helpful

Even if you don’t agree with everything, the points made are well supported, leaving the reader to think again. This book made me proud to have a period.

as relative today as ever

This is as much a book for 2024 and an election year as it was when it was first written. I'm 55 years old and I now know so many of my views and thoughts were based on misinformation, lack of being taught, and not researching for myself. That's been changing and I hope others listen or read this insightful & challenging book.

The Review

A opposite review of feminism and a good understanding of the importance of all of it.
