My Life on the Road

Steinem's autobiography is in a chronological order. I like the beginning section of her youth and her father. I also liked her first years of lecturing and speaking. After those sections - it got super boring and the stories weren't really motivating overall - the stories of other people she has in the book. I don't really about the stories of others - I wanted to read her stories - a huge chunk of the book could have come out. The later years were hard to get through - boring. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you are a die hard fan.

Lines from the book:
"If you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them. If you hope people will change how they live, you have to know how they live, If you want people to see you, you have to sit down with them eye-to-eye."

"When the past dies, we mourn for the dead. When the future dies we mourn for ourselves."

"We must not only vote but fight to vote. The voting booth really is the one place on earth where the least powerful equal the most powerful."

"... one of the simplest paths to deep change is for the less powerful to speak as much as they listen, and for the more powerful to listen as much as the speak."
