description: A beautifully illustrated collection of Gloria Steinem's most inspirational and outrageous quotes with an introduction and essays by the feminist activist herself.For decades--and especially now in these times of crisis--people around the world have found guidance humor and unity in Gloria Steinem's gift for creating quotes that offer hope and inspire action. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist Steinem's words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together.Covering topics from relationships (Many are looking for the right person. Too few are trying to be the right person.) to the patriarchy (Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. 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 Steinem's words on what matters most. Steinem sees quotes as the poetry of everyday life so she also has included a few favorites from friends including bell hooks Flo Kennedy and Michelle Obama in this book that will make you want to laugh march and create some quotes of your own. In fact at the end of the book there's a special space for readers to add their own quotes and others they've found inspiring. 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.
