And, she's a wonderful writer. Have you ever read her "I was a Playboy bunny" expose? Really good stuff. Check it out here. It's easy for me to forget that she is a journalist. Seems her humanitarian work overshadows that nowadays. She is inspirational in every way.
Certainly, my life, and everyone else's in this country, and I don't think that is an exagerration, would be completely different if not for Gloria Steinem. Of course, she didn't accomplish all that single-handedly, but she was definitely one of the leaders. Thank you so much, Gloria. I look forward to reading your next book. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep up mine.
Below photo: Gloria Steinem is on the lecture circuit. I found her to be a gracious, empathetic, engaging, warm, charming, and intelligent speaker. If you have the chance, go see her. Click here to see what the Los Angeles Times had to say. Different event than I went to, that's for sure!
Well that was very interesting to read part of Gloria Steinem,s book. Because I was a Playboy Bunny in San Francisco it was nicely run by all great women and every playboy club was very different.

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate being reminded of Gloria Steinem's expose about being a Playboy bunny. It was quite funny. It was interesting to see the firestorm afterwards over her doing it. Some said that it tarnished her cred as a feminist. I say no way. She is gutsy and paved the way for me to have a better life as a woman.
Hi Calla,
DeleteIsn't amazing how much has changed during our life time? Yes, Gloria definitely paved the way for a lot of us.
Thank you, Madeleine. That's fascinating you were Playboy Bunny in San Francisco. Glad to hear the club was nicely run.
ReplyDeleteSexy Madeline! :) Steinem sure did pave a way for us. Sometimes I think about how lucky and grateful I am; that I didn't have to be the one on the firing lines. Thanks Gloria!
ReplyDeleteYes! A HUGE resounding "thanks Gloria!"
DeleteThank you, Amy, for giving us a glimpse into your evening. I'm sorry I missed it. She's been a force to be reckoned with, for sure! I love that there are so many women that have led the way forward, and that we now have so many different paths we can follow as women.
ReplyDeleteI agree. So many more options available to women, and men, nowadays.
DeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me about Gloria Steinem's work. She is an incredible woman. I can't wait to read her next book either!
Yes, the world is a better place because of Gloria Steinem.
