Summary
"...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.”

Worth reading to get the history perspective
Worth reading subjective history of feminism mostly from US perspective. Some of the essays were more interesting then others, some of them where quite old but it shows what was going on in 70s or 80s. I’m shocked that Equal Rights Amendment (non discrimination based on sex) didn’t pass in US since 1923. Im glad it is not a case in my country and I better understand why those movements are so important.

Must read for everyone
This book should be a standard mandatory read for everyone at any age. I’m embarrassed it has taken me so many years to get to it. It’s a necessary read.
