PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

An updated, third edition of the renowned feminist's most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword by Emma Watson.

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 that 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."

Critic Reviews

“"From her hilarious account of life as an overworked Playboy Bunny to the moving tribute to her mother, Gloria Steinem's first collection of essays is -- and will always be -- a required feminist reader." -- Susan Faludi, author of Backlash and In the Darkroom "Fascinating...a consciousness-raising book -- challenging, unpretentious, forceful." -- The New York Times Book Review "Humorous, perceptive, moving...leaves the reader not only with a cogent personal memoir, but a feeling for an important segment of an entire generation." -- People "Rich with surprises...this collection does more than affirm Steinem's importance in the women's movement; it shows how and why she earned that position and how valuable she continues to be." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer”
