Revolution from Within
Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem | Gloria Steinem
Without self-esteem, the only change is an exchange of masters; with it, there is no need for masters. Gloria Steinem When trying to find books to give to the countless brave and smart women I met who didnt think of themselves as either brave or smart, Gloria Steinem realized that books either supposed that external political change would cure everything or that internal change would. None linked internal and external change together in a seamless circle of cause and effect, effect and cause. She undertook to write such a book, and ended up transforming herself as well as others. The result of her external plus internal reflection is this bestselling and truly transforming book: part collection of personal stories from her own life and the lives of many others, part revolutionary guide to finding community and inspiration. Steinem finds role models in a very young and uncertain Gandhi as well as unlikely heroes from the streets to history. Revolution from Within addresses the core issues of self-authority and unjust external authority, and argues that the first is necessary to transform the second.

"A woman wins when she feels that what each woman does with her own body is her own business." Feeling so grateful for this book and the brilliance of Gloria Steinem. I did a bit of reading and learning in my favorite spot today, but it's almost like I never want this book to end ??? #feminist #beachread #poolside

"You can't lose old and negative ways of thinking until new and positive ones replace them."
How loudly can I yell about this book until I get everyone I know to read it? I'm only about halfway done and I swear Gloria Steinem is changing my life. ?? #feminist #selflove #selfesteem

Steinem came to Halifax, NS in 1993. It was a BIG deal! And according to the ticket stub (which is stuck in there), it cost $7.00. #signedbooks #readingwomenmonth @thereadingwomen

thereadingwomen What! That's amazing! - A 7y
DivineDiana Fantastic! 7y
charl08 Love that you kept the ticket. 7y
merelybookish @thereadingwomen @DivineDiana Yes, pretty cool. I realized after I posted, this is probably my first signed book. @charl08 that ticket is stuck in there. To remove it would involve ripping the cover. 7y

Perhaps "real wisdom," as author Joan Erikson said, only comes from "life experience, well-digested."
