LENA DUNHAM "Steinem beautifully illustrates how her perpetual motion has shaped her professional life. I began it again the day after I finished." ANNE LAMOTT "One of the most important voices for human rights. It is also filled with a sense of the momentous while offering deeply personal insights into what shaped her."
