She has constantly been on the move (thus the imaginative title) and this book chronicles her travels from her first experience of social activism among women in India to her work as a journalist in the 1960s from the founding of Ms Magazine to the historic 1977 National Women’s Conference. Recognised and admired worldwide for her social activism in the field of women’s rights, Steinem’s opus has been to record observations that make sense of our shared experience as women. She is a tireless, considered narrator of hope and kindness. She has travelled the world to bring our stories to a global platform. We know that she has been supporting us, urging us and demanding us to speak up for decades now. ![]()
