Gloria Steinem

One of the most significant public figures of the past 50 years, writer, activist, and feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem has distilled her experiences into "My Life on the Road," an account of her encounters with individuals and audiences all over the world. She tells a moving, funny, and profound story that includes activism in India, the founding of Ms. Magazine, visits to college campuses and prisons, the whirlwind of political campaigns—and a lifetime of travel and leadership. In this momentous year for women in politics, you will not want to miss what Gloria Steinem has to say.

In conversation with her is Page May, a Chicago-based teacher and organizer with Assata’s Daughters. She is one of the 8 youth delegates from We Charge Genocide who traveled to the United Nations and the lead author of the shadow report submitted to the UN Committee Against Torture. She is the co-founder of Assata’s Daughters, an intergenerational collective of Black women and girls who seek to escalate, deepen, and sustain the Black Lives Matter movement through civil disobedience and youth training programs.

This program is generously underwritten by Ellen Stone Belic and features an artist, writer, or other creative authority reflecting her extraordinary career.
