From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, Steinems words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together.

This is how the patriarchy is enforced every day.) and activism (Revolutions, like trees, grow from the bottom up.), this is the definitive collection of Steinems words on what matters most.

The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Steinem to readers, and a book to share with friends.
